20/40 thief (quick, before this gets demoted to SS)
Seat 1 is a solid, thinking player.
Seat 2 is me. Seat 3 is a rock. Seats 4&5 are both passive & weak. Two out of the last three rounds, Seat 1 has open-raised from the HJ and won vs the blinds without a showdown. Round 4. Seat 1 is in the HJ again. He open-raises. I have T4o. What should I do? |

Muck this trash even if you put him on a steal...his hand is likely much better than yours. That and the fact that he plays well is a pretty strong reason to fold. Actually, I don't believe I ever would call here unless it's one chip in 2-3 structure. Is this a serious question? Jeff |

Muck
And this is a rare case where I don't think it matters what type of player the Villian is. |

Why would you want to mix it up with a solid player with garbage cards? I don't care if you have position or not. I'm mucking the 10-8 in two seconds flat also. 10-4 is a no brainer muck and it's not close.

Yeah, nobody ever got dealt three half-decent hands in a row, ever. 3-bet him and punish his dominated T3o.

But at what point do you stop letting him have the button every time he's in the HJ? After his 4th consecutive open-raise from the HJ? 5th? 6th? Am I just playing mind games with myself?
