Hyper Aggresive Play??

hondoishere · #1 09-12-2007, 10:53 PM

It's been a long time since I posted on here but I was recently playing 10/25 PLO on absolute trying to get my bank roll up and I ran into a player, who was playing highly aggressive. Raising about 80% preflop and betting hard the flop and turn, calling people Donk, Fish etc. So I started just watching him after he busted me out when I got frustrated I couldn't get any cards. This is what I saw

He took a $40 buy in and is now sitting at the table with almost 90 using this same strategy. I have no clue what he raises with because his cards never come to the show down. Does anyone have any thoughts on this type of player and how to profit. I'm thinking he might just be bullying players with his buy in that is so much higher than the average at these tables but I'm not sure. Since I can't ever see his cards.

don't raise. flop top 2 or better. check/call flop. check/raise turn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

let him bully himself to death.

or use the Rolf Slotboom shortstack strategy. let him have position on you. play supertight. limp raise good hands allin as soon as possible.

10/25 PLO would be a game where the big blind is $25 and a typical buy-in is $2500. Yeah, I got what you were saying after I read in a couple paragraphs, but I see this all the time and it's kind of a pet peeve. The standard way to describe what stakes your playing is with the SB and the BB as in 1/2. If you want to change from that and say 50PL or 100PL, at the very least put PL next to each number to make it a little bit clear what you're talking about.

So to clear this up, we're talking about $25 PLO, right? This tactic is suicide at this level, generally, unless it's a nut-peddly player pool. $2500 PLO, maybe this works quite nicely.

In terms of playing against him, sure, you have to let him do the betting for you a lot of the time, and sometimes that does mean sitting on his right to collect some dead money everytime you do wanna make a move. But if he's any good, you can't just be check-calling sets and draws alike, you need to be doing a lot of check-raising whenever you want to play a hand - basically, just show him who's boss. If you're in position, float a lot, again with big hands and draws alike, but make sure you put in a turn raise whether you've hit or not. High variance, but if you're selective about when you make these plays (let him take a lot of the small pots w/o putting up a fight), you'll win the most when ahead and lose the least when behind.

everyone thinks these players are huge winners, but its simply not the case - there is an agro player i know who i saw with a $1k+ stack at plo200 on 2 different tables the other day

the following day he lost $600 in maybe 30 mins on my table, but of course he always buying the full amount so you dont notice his losses unless you check PT

if you want to play this style table selection is critical - you need 3/4 tags at least and no shortstackers or loose passive players who have relevant position on you

there was a guy at my tables last night who was doing stuff like shoving into top set with a bare open ender and then brutally berating the people he sucked out on. He reraised pot preflop with AQ74ss and hit a 744 flop - comedy gold.

Im still unsure as to whether he was a complete fish or a cunning and devious shark - a couple of times he did well postflop to avoid traps against the better players.

I apologize for the confusion .10/.25 PLO and I forget the name of the guy I don't think it was KingJizz though I didn't want to post his name here. If you tell me yours it might ring a bell. And where you going around calling people Donkey and telling them to stop chasing?
