    Default Dealing with aggressive players

    Ok so I reckon this is one of my main weaknesses - uber aggressive players throw me.

    And I don't mean maniacs who don't know what they're doing I mean the type that call everything, don't seem to have any pattern but always seem to have you beat when you finally call them.

    When they bluff everyone folds, when they have the cards people call and lose their chips.

    I know I'm being vague but how the hell do you play against these players - especially in a tournament when the blinds are going off and you're chips are being sucked out while you wait to hit the flop?

    I did have a particularly bad run of cards today but still, I find them very difficult to play against - you can't push them off cards, but is going all in with ace high really the answer?

    Any advice appreciated/

    No. These guys are raising every pot, so wait until you really have a monster, and you're almost guaranteed to get paid off for it. I'd say wait for JJ, QQ, KK, AA, AK, or even AQ, and then ship it in.

    If they let you in cheap, it may also become profitable to play more drawing hands against them. small pp's, sc's preflop... flush and straight draws if you think they are dumb enough to pay you off.
