Okay, I have played in a mess of tournaments over the last few days and I have been struggling with a bunch of early bust outs at the hands of the same phenomena…bat @&%t crazy players. I am wondering how in the world other folks deal with these guys. I have tightened up my range, but I still can’t figure out how to play with guys who will constantly shove ATC over and over again. I know they are shoving light, but I am not sure quite how to deal with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

u pretty much got it. wait for them. play tight until u have it then bust them. dont be results oriented. make the +ev play and it will start coming together.

Yeah, it was getting really frustrating to have table after table of these guys sitting there where I knew any hand I played was going to have to be for my stack and I know that their ranges were wide as hell, but it was hard to justify playing back with 67s or something like that.

I'm not sure what stakes you play but at the micro and low level, there is a lot of monkeying around in the first hour or so. A ton of people looking to double or bust who are willing get it all in with middle pair or a lame draw. They use the 'it's only 10 dollars' excuse to play bad. Pick your spots well and let go of your hand when you are beat. Eventually, they will be ready to donate to your stack.

Rewatch Casey's Early stage video and really listen to what he says, I think it will help you.
