How do you guys play against this kind of opponent ? I noticed that every time he wants to play a hand, he raise 20bb, he doesn't play to often but every single time he raise first he bets 20bb.

With what range do you call an open like that?

Half of your stack, this is with 55 an easy fold even if it is a steal.
Stack size of villain is not in the range of set mining (not deep enough).
Wait for a better option you have a decent stack.

The range is simple- it is the top of range--play like a nit but do not call always shove at this stack depth- this is a low stakes bounty MTT so this V is trying to get bounty collisions they want a big stack or bust.

Snap fold and don't think about it any further.

At best preflop you're flipping or massively behind, and you're only going to hit your set on the flop about 10% of the time. Postflop is going to be a nightmare to play the other 90% of the time you miss and there's 2 -3 over cards on every flop and you're not going to flop many redraws.

Players sizing up is usually a show of strength. Just throw things in the muck and look at your next hand.

Hope this helps.

Easy fold. You can wait few more hands, 46BB is decent. If you are desperate then you can go Allin with 99+, AJ+, ATs+.
