    Default Playing on a table full of rocks

    I came across an unusual situation playing UB NL5/10 last night. On a table of 6 3 of the players were rocks(one guy was 4/3/0!!), one was semi loose passive, the other was sb944 playing a fairly tight aggressive game like myself.

    The good thing about this table was that stealing blinds was a walk in the park. Generally any hand I was raising in I was taking down. The few times someone called my PF raise they would fold to a cbet.

    The bad thing was that I was unable to get any kind of value out of my big hands. Even a minraise was enough to get everyone folding so at most I was still only getting a couple of blinds out of my AA.

    So the question is what would you do in this situation? Keep playing my standard aggressive game and be happy with lots of tiny pots, or slowplay a bit more and try to encourage a few bets and risk letting them draw out on me?

    When I get home I will post a few HH's for further feedback

    Normally I would get off the table but i was mainly on to chat with SB944 and waste away the last hour before i went to bed, so no point starting another table and trying to create an image etc.

    I was just wondering if there was any ways to get better value out of these rocks.

    I say play slightly more marginal hands, even OOP, and semi-bluff them if you're on say, a flush draw. If they don't let up and you've hit just check to them and let them make the move if they think they have it. Either that or GET OF THE TABLE!

    I saw a guy loosen up a table of rocks like this in Vegas.

    Basically he increased the stakes by making it 3 bets to go regardless. He was straddling and blind raising pre flop from early, middle and late positions.

    He was then charging these rocks to play after the flop by putting in bets that rocks really do not like calling.

    He was great for the first 1/2 hour or so, possibly doubled his $200 buy in, he just forgot to tighten up once the rest of the table learned they had to loosen their starting requirements.

    Eventually did his stack ... but it was great to watch!
