My second button of the match. First time I raised the same amount and he made it 210. Now he 3bets me again immediately.

After that I started limping some hands. The very first hand I limped I had T8s and he 4x'd it out of position. Easy call right?After that I raised 2 hands and he defended with junk like 96o and 85o. Then the following hand came up. Should I be shoving here given the fact that he's 3bet me 3 times already and seems extremely aggressive preflop against my button (he didn't raise so much when he had the button).

I don't like the shove - now i'll answer your questions in order;A7o easy fold yes.T8s yes easy call given this situation.Given the action, we can see he's defending with total trash but he's raising with anything better, this doesn't mean he's going to be calling a jam with anything better even though JKo plays pretty strong against his range. I feel you could go one of two ways with this;A. Minraise (I really dont see why you 2.5x against this guy) then call his bet and reasses on the flopB. Minraise/2.5 (doesnt matter much) then 4bet over his raise. I feel by 4betting to say 580/590 you're going to get him to spew with his weaker hands a lot more, where as by shoving you're really saying "ok I finally have a strong hand, call me if you got better". He's obviously playing very volatile poker so i wouldnt be totally surprised to see you flip over the best hand after he calls your shove, but by 4betting smaller i think we're really giving him the chance to just go crazy with his entire range and get it in as a favourite.
Yeah. I like the Minraise as an adjustment better too. And, I'd mix in some limps to see if his limp-raising frequency is exploitable. You should really give this guy the initiative whenever possible and let him bluff his stack.
If the guy is too aggressive you have to be patient and wait for good spots. When shoving KJo you´re giving up all your edge against him. You may get lucky and find a K2, but most times you are in a flip coin or in a 60x40... thats why I´d call his 3bet waiting for a good flop and maybe getting all his chips. And preflop, I also prefer the miniraise or a limp if he´s 3betting that much
Minraise/fold looks good, fold as played too.Too soon with not enough to go on to shove something that is crushed against the average player's range here and fold equity isn't high enough here on average to make up for it.
