what do you do when you enter a table and are an allin player almost all the time?
do you expect a good hand to take everything from him? Or change tables?

Tournament or cash? Depending on the blinds, be patient and wait them out.

In this situation I'm definitely happy to stay at the table and wait for an opportunity to get in with the player.

If they're truly going all in almost all the time this is a pretty dreamy situation to find yourself in :)

Close the range and hit its base foot, in other words, is hard to get a strong hand every hand, close the range and when feel yourself confident, just call, however notice any two cards can win at showdown and you are not secure to suffer a bad beat or cooler.

I definitively stay and wait for my spot to call him off. It's almost like additional dead money in the middle if he is shoving all the time.

Sit there and wait and trap them, trap them, trap them. This is type of player that would show up on the weekends and drink and just enjoy themselves or just lost a nice sum playing the casino games and wandered into the poker room late at night.

Playing $1/2 means it would only cost me about $9-$15 to sit and wait to get a good hand to call an all in of $300 and they usually were deep. If they got lucky on me then I would reach in my pocket and stay another buyin. Those type of players would pay my utility bills along with some food money back in the day.

If they are truly all in many times then it is heaven-sent. Just wait for a good hand and call. But try to make it headsup.

If i see that happen and i have a decent hand lets say j9 suited 10-9 suited or up i will just take a gamble that time if nobody is behind me otherwise i just wait for someone else to call him and if he wins i'll wait for decent hand also and call him

Great situation - wait for AA and call all-in. At pokerstars, I watched how a big stack of $17,000 (max 6 cash game) went all-in out of position with AK and got called by an opponent with AA and lost $14,000.

If they keep going all-in I want to stay at the table and wait for a good hand.
