Default How do you beat this kind of players

Lately the tables i play 25NL have been filled with players holding stats between 14/12 and 17/15 who dont pay off and who only play strong hands for raises and re-raises and cont bet etc etc etc

My question is HOW do you beat this kind of players? I havent been doing very well against them so if you could give me any pointers i would greatly appreciate it

Also if I havent posted where I should have please excuse me but im fairly new here

Best of wishes

Very simple answer: don't try to "beat" these players. Avoid playing big pots with them without very good hands.
Of course, you can steal A LOT from late position when they are in the blinds.
You will not make big money on a regular basis by playing against them.

I have an answer for this and I use it fairly effectively, but I will get flamed hard core for putting it here, lol

Steal their blinds. That's about it. At these stakes there is no point in trying to beat TAGs. Beat up the fish.

table selection is the key word
combined with position on the deep fish
this makes lots of money...

Yeah switch tables, if there is more than one good tag at the table you should really leave.

The best way to beat beat the good players is with being aggressive, floating in position etc.... you won't win all that much playing against them though.

Steal their blinds indeed. Avoid getting into pots with them without a big hand.

It's online, move to a table that isn't full of players like that.
