I see what you're saying completely BorinLoner, although it's fairly rare to get people regularly 4xing unless they're awful. Most people limp or min-raise, in which case you can 3bet/raise and still be able to fold to a 4bet/3bet.
Also if you min-raise to 40, get a call, there's 80 in the pot, you both have 400+ behind, so with 5 times the amount behind there is definitely room for error, and where there's room for error, there's room to exploit it.

I was actually using the 20/40 blind level as in the posted hand, so my raise to 80 would have been a min-raise... I'm sure you can see the flop at 10/20, though you shouldn't see many rivers even at that blind level.
Again, that's against a clearly bad player. What's his bet on the turn meant to do?... and his call pre-flop... and his full-pot donk on the flop... and his shove on the river...
Do me a favour and blank out his name. I don't want people to see me calling someone else bad. I don't want him to see it either. That is bad, though.
I've removed their name now cos it is embarrassing and a bit unfair to them, I was gonna remove the name originally but just couldn't be bothered lol.
My point is that at £5 games which is relatively decent stakes considering you could easily go on a +/- £50 swing very quickly, there are still plenty of shockingly bad players like this.
