Combatting Fancy Play Syndrome?

#1 3rd December 2011, 4:49 PM

Right, when your playing at micro-stakes or just generally playing with a few players who play extremely badly how do you stop yourself from trying to outplay them? I swear poker's about letting your opponents make mistakes, but if they never fold BUT THEN play so passively that their mistakes don't cost them much, how do you combat that?

(And yes, I do get that we like playing fish/bad opposition, and them making bad calls is +ev etc..)

So they don't fold preflop but play fit or fold postflop? Raise bigger preflop and cbet smaller postflop. Don't try to make them fold. When you have a real hand bet bigger and don't stop.

V-bet the shit out of them. C-bet 100% of flops. You outplay them not by pulling huge bluffs and floating but by extracting max-value from every situation.
