Move to NL 100, where they will respect your 3bets.

Seriously, he has adjusted and so should you. Tighten up and wait for a monster and hope that he hasnt noticed that you have tightened. If you will keep 3beting him with ATC, there's no way it will be EV+.

next time you're hand > his range + FE, push when he pushes back. Sounds simple enough but we asked for loose action by smacking villain around so lets take advantage of it.

Also, reap the rewards of being aggressive in position: ie. take free cards, loose calls when you have a hand. A lot of players quickly adjust to the idea of opening up their 3bet range preflop; but you need to adjust to how your opponents react to pressure. Some shut down, others open up and start fighting back. Play accordingly.

i dont think tightening up and wait for a monster will do the trick..should be other ways to counter this adjustment he is making..
as I said I 3bet him everytime...
I cant just stop 3betting and wait for a hand..that he will easily notice

what is the point in 3 betting everytime? You will get no respect at all ever. This is an awful way to go about the game. If you want to beat this guy you need to wait for at least a decent hand. What are your stats???

kekec37 · #6 03-16-2007, 07:06 PM

Just keep 3betting ATC then. He will have to subdue to magical power of 3bets. Nobody cant resist being 3bet every hand. Eventually YOU WILL OWN HIM and then it will be like printing money.

Get serious man, what makes you think that 3beting him every time is a good idea? By raising he is telling you that he has a good hand and why would you want to play large pot with crap???

I know you said you were having fun, but, why would you specifically target a good player? Were you just practicing? If so, I guess you learned something. Personally, I'd rather just go for the fish.
