Re: How do you play agains loose/aggro players ?
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.
