Default Adjusting to a 33/25/5 player?

I have never played well against loose aggressive players. I am a typical tight aggressive player and find I get rolled over in the long run. Anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust when against these types of players?

Try to sit on their left. Isolate them when you can. Play back at them with your strong hands. Trap them more if they slow down to your early aggression. Play fewer marginal hands preflop, but play your best hands more aggressively. Take ace-high to showdown cheaply.

Move to there left is probably the best advice, these lagtards are a bitch when they have position.

Play premium hands, 3-bet strong, and be prepaired to go to the felt with strong (but not monster) hands. AK on a A83r flop is the nutz against these players..If your oop use there agressiveness against them, c/c flop crai turn is a great line with good hands against overly-aggressive players (but rather tansparent)...

As opposed to folding, or bet/raising? If it the second, then that's one statement I've never agreed with. A LAG has a much wider hand range when bets/raises. As a result, you can raise more hands for value. It's very high variance, though.

OP, what sample size do you have on this player? 5 is a ridiculous aggression. Few to no players have an AF of 5 over a large sample size. They usually go bust first. The only player that I can think of was sweeta, but even he calmed down after awhile to ~4.x.

Where you want to sit depends a lot more on the on the rest of the table IMO.
