Re: Beatable Game??
My first BB hand a few weeks ago is AA. Three limpers and SB call, I raise. Next guy 3 bets, another 4 bets, third limper caps, SB folds, I happily call.
I think the spazzy aggressive can usually be attributed to one or two players at a table. Perhaps you know an older gentlemen, Mike, who often suggests a round of straddles to create some action. There's an early 20ish kid who is extremely LAGish, raising and reraising pre and posf flop with garbage and legit hands. And when the other players are easily intimidated by his agggression, he collects lots of chips. Obviously, he experiences significant variance but it's intentional, and he doesn't tilt. Another guy I've played routinely raises preflop to create a big pot. In my opinion, it's uncommon to have many pots over a few hour session that go 4-5 bets preflop. I have difficulty dealing though with the nearly incomprehensible call downs that often win large pots.
