Hi blumpkin

If he started aggressively maybe you should make a small adjustment and not open 100% of your BTNs.

But as played, what was your plan on most rivers? I can see a lot of cards that we would hate so our decision comes down here. Stacking off is an option although quite loose (it's almost like we have AT here).

I start opening 2x versus monkeys who 3-bet me over 30%
decision on the river depends on the bet size and the card of the river.
on spades cards I would fold, on Ace cards I would fold (as he may have lots of spade draws with Ax), on other cards I would tend to call more

Just opening 2x is not the only adjustment you should make. You should also slightly tighten your range.

Why would you want to play complete garbage vs an aggro monkey?

You also have to adjust by checking more marginal stuff (postflop).

I do narrow my open range versus monkeys, I also add some hands to my limp range from time to time.
I play this garbage because it was the beginning of the match and I didn't know tendencies of the player and it was one of my first min-raises so I wanted to see how he would react to it, may be he would continue 3-betting 100%, may be he would fold, i don't know.
as I said there were no many hands played and after getting agressive beginning we should pot controll our TP with weak kickers on such dry boards? the reason for my bet was that I didn't want to give free cards and wanted to extract value from weaker hands

If you expect him to raise often and put pressure on you then you'd want to pot control more often, especially in spots where you are not ready to play for stacks.
