A shaddy $100 max cardroom (How can i beat it)
 

I play at this place called the Knights of Colmbus, which hosts a bunch of 1/2NL games that are usualy full. The max buy in is $100 minimum is $60. They charge $2 every half hour. most play very loose and make huge pre flop bets ($15) with medicore holdings and bet regardless of pot size, others are very tight and passive. The worse of the aggressive players will play any two cards and even raise on them OOP and regardless of # of pepole in. Should i be call/re raising PF and on the flop or shopuld i just be check calling all the way down or bet'/ push???? For some reason i am having more problems with this then 1/2 where eveyrone buys in for $300 and its not as crazy.

Sounds like a typical LA 2/3 game. Play good TAG poker, don't bluff OOP (in fact don't bluff much at all until you stack a few times), punish when you have the goods or are drawing very good. You'll get plenty of calls. Post this in one of the strat forums (ssnl) for better advice.

Im going back on monday hopefuly i can get some mroe advice and ill post a nice trpi report of the antics of these degenerics.

i mean when the pot has $10 in it and some comes otu and bets $30 on the flop how cna i possibly calculate pot odds

I personally would try to turn it into more of a preflop game... see less flops and use what little fold equity you might have preflop to take it down. Limp R-R people with AQ+, 99+, that way you can get a lot of the money in preflop against their huge range. More often than not the rest of the money is going in on the flop regardless of what it is, but this might help you.

also if there are bad players w/ big stacks, gamble it up early in hopes of getting a big stack to match theirs, then play poker w/ them.
