this player has been raisin all-in on my BB for 5 times in a row now, pretty sure they havnt had a hand every time and the last hand i played aganst them they double me up so thinking they just want to annoy me.
should i just keep foldin my BB or should you draw a line??

    No doubt he is shoving very wide but Q high isnt enough to call . A high is probs a call tho.

    why would you even want to? you have 150 in the middle and are being asked to pay 10 times that with a hand that you wouldn't really fancy calling small raises with.

    if they have done it 5 times, they could just keep doing it so what do you do then?

    wait it out and let someone else get wound up enough to deal with him. Until I had a premium hand worth risking it.

    Even if he told me his cards in this situation and they were T7, 53, 72 I wouldn't call.

    while I have 5000 chips and the blinds are 150 yep.

    You don't have to take my advice, just telling you what I would do in this situation.

    Call these guys with Q high if you don't mind taking unnecessary risks. But if you want to reduce the luck in your tournaments you don't need to get involved.

    I call with QJ here, i do not get bullied i'm afraid, after someone has shoved my bb 3 times they are pushing their luck, so im snap calling with half a hand on the 5th time.

    Wrong probably but thats what i would do.

    On the bubble of an mtt once, I was chip leader and raising maybe 90% of pots. 

    There was a 4xbb stack on my table, and a 3xbb stack on the other table....

    It was folded to me in the small blind, and I had Ace 3 of hearts. The big blind was comfortable with 10xbb's and cud make the cash easily....

    I open shoved, knowing my ace high was probably good, and he wont want to play for his stack on the bubble.

    The guy called, which I obviously didn't want, until I saw he had 10-4 off suit.

    He hit, I said, what was that???? -

    he said "you have shoved on my big blind 4 hands in a row, I knew you were bluffing"

    You've got to stop coaching these guys Hoggers.

    Personally if this has happened before 3+ times with blinds as they are i dont mind defending with QJ not the worst hand although could get call by rag ace etc but you should have live cards i'd say minimum fight back here q10

    edit- lol similar to hoggers here didnt read his before as like to post then review other advice
