Re: Adjusting to over-agressive games
[ QUOTE ]
What are everyone else's thoughts here. Am I leaving a ton of money on the table by just calling down in these types of situations (which come up very often).

Absolutely, especially given the board texture that was used. K72r, Q72r, J72r are boards that a lot of people are going to use to play back at you, and try and take you off the weaker portion of your stealing range. If you C/R that type of flop against an aggressive opponent, it's like waving a piece of red cloth in front of a bull: they just can't help it. Also, 3-bets in position on those really ragged rainbow flops are quite often B.S., since it's a perfect spot to balance your turn semi-bluffs with good made hands. Now I think I'll start 3-betting those kinds of flops with strong made hands. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Personally, I love playing with really aggressive players. They're usually very easy to manipulate into building big pots; they really let you use a variety of lines and I absolutely love when the table sees me cap non-TP hands on the flop and value bet the whole way to take the pot. Granted, you have to be somewhat aware of who thinks you're crazy, but I don't mind that.
