Hi,
I post the hand cause I want to ask what is the best play against these kind of opponents.
The SB was going all-in pre 6/10 hands.
In this hand I raised him All-in,was that right?Is that OK if I have 100BB.
(I had Reset my settings and didn't clicked the autopop up, after that hand I corrected it)
And what is the play againgt so crazy opponents?

Any reason you're playing short-stack?
This is not good. Raise all-in with A8'o just because he's shoving every hand... just wait for your premiums and for his shove, call it and collect the pot. It's so easy.

its just a question of how much variance you want to take.

for 40bb A8o is certainly a stack off.

for 100bb you could toy w equilab and see what you would like. versus a 60% range any Ax is profitable. even QJs is.

I would just check pre-flop and start with a 100bb stack out of position.
No need to take a variance spot for 36bb effective.

Playing 36bb is the mistake.Other than that SDK is spot on just check you don't need to shove,

Playing short-stack and you raised to much ,check next time with A8' because if he shoves you will be in a bad spot , and the easy way to deal with them is wait for premium hands and shove when he raises he will call you with worst

Only problem, affter the wierd stack, is that button is limping in, when there's a maniac at table, there's a change that he's traping otherwise i would call/shove A8 all day long, atm i would make a normal raise. ,

check next time with A8' because if he shoves you will be in a bad spot

why? A8 vrs. allmost any2 is good hand.

versus a 60% range any Ax is profitable. even QJs is

this.
