Constant stabbers

 Hey,

 

Wondering what you guys do against constant stabbers, on the 2+2 forums I got a comment that I should keep playing straightforward...

But with them stabbing 100% pots if checked too, how can I play straightforward, im losing TONS of chips. When I have a hand and actually start betting they fold, and thats about how my last 10 games went. 

 I watched cog's stabbing post, but that wasnt too straightforward to me since he did have a fold button and cog made some nice bluffs, but when I try to check-raise their bets they sometimes fold, usually they peel a card and im playing a guessing game on the turn.

Is it just variance that they have better cards then me atm so i cant valuebet? or should i quit listening to 2+2 advice and stop playing straight forward.

/me tilting so hard that he cant even beat these guys

There's 2 options. Either

There's 2 options. Either they fold too much or too little. If they fold too much, you frequently 3 bet them.
If they fold too little you 3 bet them for value and continue to extract value on the turn and river. The 8 small pots they pick up will be outweighed by the mosnter pot u drag down when u catch and it holds up.
Then look to see if they adjust.
Easier said than done, but if you can't beat a guy who always bets and never folds then you must be either playing or running bad.
Cheers
Paul
