Not a stupid question, but yes they can 
At the tiny stakes I am on I am having a bit of trouble with opponents who 3x + and when I 3bet my strong hands they always snap call, or whether I make it 4x on top of their 3bet or more knowing they will call very wide.
But when I am out of position I find it very hard to play profitably, its easy enough when villian just plays fit or fold,
But when you miss and villian likes to float or calls any piece should you double barrel or just c/fold or cbet give up I know it is very villian dependant. But in these spots I end up bloating the pot and when Iam on the turn or river I find myself in a terrible spot.
Or should I be happy that villian will more often or not be calling with dominated hands and just grit through it and c/f and when I hit value town him.
Or am I missing some other lines and thought processes any input on 3bet+ pots OOP would be sweet thanks.
At tiny stakes, I would try and keep the pots as small as possible oop and only 3bet the top of my range for value, if people were folding to 0% of 3bets and 0% of cbets, I'd 3bet a little wider and just c/f & c/jam a bunchhhh.
Also you can go for my favourite, bet 1/4-1-3 of the pot on the flop and then 3/5 ofthe pot on the turn (especially on good barreling cards) and they will generally fold.
Ok so i just played a match NL 50 HU.
The guy had 85% vpip from SB and only made it 2x every time. And he called 80-85% of my 3b.
How would u play this guy? Just play tight and w8 for hands or call all the time and play him OOP post? Oh and yea his cbet was like 65-70% and 5% fold to c/r flop.
When, purely from a $ point of view should I move up if I can, but want to avoid moving down?
how many bi to you like having for the next limits and how many bi to you have to lose before moving down?
(cash)

Wow I read first 3 pages of this and wondered why all the advice look 2 years old and why hypers are not mentioned anywhere ♦
Joke's on me, I guess ♦
LOL for a moment I thought pleno changed his 'Ask me all about 6max thread' to this ♦
I often play a small game with friends, up to 8 people. I get to heads up almost every time but I'm always faced with a fish who has just good luck all night and has a stack way more superior to mine.
My question is, how are you supposed to play against someone who has a stack 3x the size of yours and will call/bluff with basically any hand?

who has bigger stack doesnt matter neither in cash games, neither in any form of HU

Yer, the effective stacks are what matters
Hello there, soz I posted this on wrong board.
Can you recommend any good HU S n G / cash coachs?
I feel like I am better then average HU player but I also feel like I need some coaching playing them.
If you started from the scratch now, knowing how are the thinks in higher stakes, which format do you believe attracts more fishes 6 max or heads up? In which limit do you think a person has to start sacrifising his life in order to be winning player?
I know this isnt the type of question your looking but i would like to start playing HU cash, I was looking at table on stars but it seems that hu cash tables only start at NL50 and I am nowhere near this limit.
Are there any sites where i can plays hu cash at micros?

HU SNG deep/normal stack is what you need.
Merge - Carbon Poker offers nl25 HU tables, but rake is so high as hell, so I would really recommend you play deep stack HU sng, where you start with 150bb, and blinds are climbing every 10min.
P.S believe me, if you won't beat micro/low HU SnG, there is nothing to do at nl50 cash.

80-100BI
I play turbo HU sng with 80BI+ coz they are really swingy as hell, and hypers are disaster.
OK, my questions to pleno1!
As I don't know anything about you, I would like to ask:
1. Do You use coffeeHUD, if not - why?
2. How many hours do you really spend on poker studying(watching videos, reading articles, going through HH etc.) like if we compare with time you spend playing game %?
3. What is your goals for next 5 months including summer?
4. What sort of the game you prefer most: deep/normal/shallow stack HU cash tables?
5. Do you agree, that with HU SnG nowadays is much easier to earn $$ unlike with HU cash?
6. Do you bumhunt?
7. Do you use "time tells", like you are trying to make fast decision or slow aka time wasting?
8. what is your W$SD at HU cash?
Sorry, that I'm answering to few members questions.
