Message: [QUOTE="PotluckXXI, post: 2310259, member: 83367"] I've been playing underground $1/2 games and have gotten pretty good but I have a serious problem with hyper-aggressive's. There isn't a max buy-in usually so in theory someone could put $100K on the table (though you probably couldn't see him behind his chip stack!). I have been buying in for about 75 BB and have 3/4 of the table covered on a nine or ten ring. The games where I get into trouble is when a super LAG puts $500 or more (one guy bought in for $1,500 the other day) and raises 10x the BB and plays almost ATC from any position. So I see them bust then re-buy with no consideration and they come with deep pockets. I can't match them due to BR considerations. I can't control the pot size since they raise with air or solid hands. Generally I stay away and play TAG and get it all in when I am sure I have the best of it against them. Even worse is when there are one or two truly bad player's who have gotten lucky and tripled or quadrupled up, then it's a free-for-all. With premium hands like AKs or T's when I miss or over cards (like a K or J when I have T's) hit post flop I get put in an awkward position. Come hands are way to expensive to chase. If I shove I will get called, they almost never fold unless I'm shoving 10x pre and it's clear I have a solid hand when I do, disguising doesn't work since they call and hit two pair with their J7o and crack my pocket K's. I can't read them half the time, they are gamblers not poker players. It's running bad that is killing me, if my hand doesn't improve. I try to play TAG but am forced to open up my range and play 89s in late position when the table gets down to a six ring or less, the cost increases and quickly diminishes my stack. At this point the game has devolved into a best hand wins. When I'm drawing air I have to fold and it chips away at my stack. Any advise on how to beat these guys? :confused: [/QUOTE]
