Mystraised ???

Ok, this is a guy who would never fold his blind to me headsup! I pretty much pushed with any ace, any king, or any broadway, any pair as if it was my small blind. Is that optimal strategy versus a guy who plays this way? I had already pushed 5 hands like this against him at this point,
and got called with my J9 v A5.

What would you guys do?

I would almost always move allin here, and if you think they will fold, you don't need a hand this strong. Be a little more careful the 3rd time you do it, because eventually a lot of these guys limp with the idea of trapping you, although even then if my hand is too strong I'm going to push.

But also many people would be thrilled to see a flop for 300 chips...Either he is taking advantage of you by limping or he is taking advantage of you by limping. Hmmm, raise good cards and check with crap(unless stack situation says otherwise)

That changes it from who's going to push preflop to who's going to push on the flop or turn.

I sometimes like that, because as the BB, if you're checked into, it's such a sign of weakness that you're often almost guaranteed a fold if you bet out, so a crappy hand that wasn't worth playing preflop actually becomes a winner.

And if you have any piece of the flop after the SB checks to you, you might not even mind a call, since most of the cards are already on the board. 44 battling an AK looks a helluva lot better after the flop than before it.
