Default Re: Playing Well against Rookies

One thing I do notice with no-fold-em holdem against loose, sub-par players is that while you're sitting back waiting for a good hand, these guys are going to war with any two. After a few rounds, the smoke has cleared, and one of these cats is left with a MASSIVE stack (after all, SOMEONE has to come out on top after all of these A6 vs 88 match-ups).
How do you counter-act this?

1) Get good at heads-up, so you can routinely beat a donk with a 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 chip lead.

2) Play hands cheaply that play well against multiple players. Small pairs and suited connectors. It just takes a big pot or two in a game like this to get to heads against an even stack.

3) VALUE BET!!!!!!!!!!!

4) Avoid suckouts.

Many players have trouble against LAG players, whether these LAGs are good or not. Get better against them ,and your results will improve.
