$10 NLHE 6-max: Super agressive/loose player on scary board

$10 NL HE 6-max: Super agressive/loose player on scary board

So the guy in the BB has been playing super super super aggressive and super super super loose. Has played every hand. Been about 10-15 hands. Couple of showdowns he showed junk cards. I did notice that when he actually had a huge hand his bets were very small, min raises while over betting with nothing. Decided to take a stand with this hand though.



BB: $21.65 (216.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $7.50 (75 bb)
CO: $10.10 (101 bb)
BTN: $3.55 (35.5 bb)
SB: $10.65 (106.5 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is MP with 8 A
Hero calls $0.10, CO folds, BTN calls $0.10, SB folds, BB raises to $0.50, Hero raises to $2, BTN folds, BB calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.15) 7 8 9 (2 players)
BB bets $1.50, Hero ?

It was on a $.05/.10 table not $10...my bad on that...

Um, fold preflop?

not the hand to take a stand with, not the flop to continue that stand on.

Don't open limp in 6 max.
Don't play A8o utg
Buy in for 100bb at a table and stay loaded.

Fold Fold Fold... Leave the loose player steal and win the small pots.. Sooner or later he will bluff his money to you when you have a hand. I don't understand people who decide to make a stand at some point with a junk hand...

Ditto the others. I know it's hard to sit there while some maniac is stealing hand after hand. But this is the time for patience. Wait for a big hand and then play back. While your A8 is probably better than his hand, it still is garbage.

When you plays with this kind of opponent you have to go all in now or fold this hand.If you just call this bet he will push stronger on the turn and force you to fold if you don't hit anything on the turn.If you push all in on the flop he will probably fold hes hand if he hasn't overpair or top pair.Just think about this if he plays every hand then he plays and bet on every junk.

Alright. I should of not even played the hand. Donk move on my part. I did end up taking a lot of $ from him though so don't get to mad at me!

This.

In general when taking a stand against a very loose very aggressive opponents at these stakes you don't want to be bluffing.
Take a stand by 3betting AQ KQ AJ and by never folding toppair.

Taking a stand on a vulnerable middle pair with a weak hand is either gunna get us stacked or have us fold when he fires the third barrel.
Find a good hand we can cling to for dear life.
