So, I'm grinding it out at a $.02/.04 limit table today (right now) and this guy sits down with $5k in chips. I had been doing fairly well. Sat down with $2 and had turned it in to a little over $5 in an hour and a half, when he sat down.

He starts raising every hand. So I go into ultra tight mode. I've been playing here like this for the last 30 min or so and am breaking even.

Question: In a situation like this, should I leave and find another table?

Hell no. But when you have a hand, you're going to need to raise and cap and try your best to get heads up with him.

EDIT: You realize the guy with 5000 is JKo from this forum?

why would you leave i was capping every street every hand. you just have to play differently

i saw you capping it with 99 on a Axx against me and another player? thats not how you win with somebody playing agro like that. just waste for your spots and get paid.

JKo, you're right (should I add 'of course'?) I was doing fairly well at the table (up $3 in about 2 hours) when you showed up, and I kind of (understatement) went on tilt with your play. The 99 I was capping with, I was concentrating on beating you and not paying attention to the table.

Obviously I have some holes in my game that I need to work on, such as adjusting my play as table conditions change. Either way, it was learning experience and entertaining watching you play and comment on others plays...especially when you lost

Well, it depends if you can handle the swings or not. Obviously your working on a short bankroll since your playing the micro micro limits (Hell, even I started at .05/.10, but you gotta start somewhere).

Yes, this is going to be uncomfortable, but if you have the bank to take the loss of a whole buy-in, then stay and play, and play tight enough to make grande money. But you can;t play scared, and not having enough bank will do that.

This is a high profit, high variance game, if you're uncomfortable with that, move to a lower profit, but greatly lower variance game.
