How do you play agains loose/aggro players ?
 

Might be a basic question...
How do you play against these guys?
(grouped by table/session)

PLO50 6max tables VP$IP/PR/TA hands won$

51.6 / 16.1 / 3.1 62 $138.64
90.9 / 31.8 / 2.8 22 $54.35

66.7 / 9.1 / 1.4 66 $71.70
82.5 / 25.0 / 1.4 40 $70.28
89.5 / 26.3 / 1.8 19 $38.90
91.7 / 16.7 / 11.0 12 $28.02
.
.
and so on...

I played sg like: 38.8 / 1.2 / 1.2 on avarege,was calling plenty of pf raises (not 3 bets) and tried to hit good flops to get allin.
I could have been just cold decked, but I just kept losing my buyins by small bits or by big suckouts of the villains...

Any special advice?

Just read Slotblooms book and shorstack. Its easier and takes away a lot of the tough decisions an agro player will put you in. Who wants to think when playing poker anyway?





OR...




Try not to play so loose/passive. Its playing right into an aggro players hands and is a sure fire way to lose a lot of money. Gordo had some great advice a few threads down titled "Maniacs".

I play the maniac style mayself, but my best advice for playing against this type of player is to develop a fairly tight image at the table and then (assuming you have position on villain) 3bet his raises with hands in the range of AA-QQxx and any run-down 4567 and higher, pretty much hands that look to take down big pots if they hit. The reason I advocate this type of raising range is because raising only high suited pockets with a tight image is a surefire way to go broke; your hands are see-through. Raising low-high run-downs though, lets you bluff boards like 229, AK7, etc since even a maniac will generally respect a tight player's pre-flop 3bet.
