Lately in the freeroll tournaments I have met many players who use the style Loose Aggresive and I find it very difficult to play correctly

How should I play postflop against these players? And that preflop with a good hand

Against weak loose players you should make a number of adjustments to your game but be aware these adjustments against solid LAGs would see you ripped apart very quickly indeed. The first is to play them at their own game and loose up your preflop play when this player has already entered the pot. Do not go completely mad and start playing 7s3h but if they have limped in you can safely play more speculative hands than you usually would such as 9c8d, 7d5c and small unsuited aces. If they come in for a raise, particularly if they raise a lot of hands you can probably call with hands as weak as Qd10d, AsJc and all suited connectors and one-gapped suited connectors.
You should also start to value bet weaker hands such as top pair simply because they will pay you off handsomely. Against a tough LAG you are unlikely to win a hand at showdown with just top pair because if they call bets on all three streets then they are usually strong enough to beat top pair. But weak LAGs will often call opponents down with top pair and no kicker or draw to a hand and hit a weak pair and still call you down with it.
Finally, you should try to bluff these players much less than you would a tough player or a tighter player simply for the fact you are likely to get called by a weird and wonderful array of hands by a weak LAG. Do not stop bluffing completely otherwise even weak players will be able to read you easily and exploit you but try to keep the big daring bluffs for a more suitable candidate.
True LAG players are a complete nightmare to play against, especially if they have position on you but flip the coin and have position on a weak loose player and you stand a chance of stacking them on numerous times before they either run out of money or quit the table. Isolate them, play as many pots as you can with them and get your hands on their bankroll before someone else does.


Hope I helped you.
gl, see you at the tables.

That's it. And if you lose a hand to them, just don't tilt. Stay calm, learn what you did wrong and go to next.

When you get a good hand you need to push at them. You can make this move with a wide variety of hands. There main objective with this style is to see a lot of flops cheaply raising them preflop should win the pot right there. However, if your playing a freeroll then it really doesn't matter cause they will likely 4 bet you all in. After the flop let them lead and milk them until the river comes then jam on them. You could even make this move after the flop if there is a good chance they will call you with bottom/ middle pair or Ace high. Good luck on the felts

If short-stacked...

...I follow advice I heard from a pro once (whose name I can't remember at the moment, sorry!): Find a hand and make a stand.

That also applies if you have plenty of chips. Selective aggression is my motto. I will bend, but I won't break. If the money gets in, you are probably behind me in the hand. Being able to fold is a skill. Sometimes though, you can't leave yourself that option.

Wait for the monster hand and reraise the loose agressif. Anyway loose agressif make chips like a rollercoaster. And beat him when is stack is low. Dont push to crazy when he is the big stack because i will call you anyway. He is not a beleiver of your hand. He always thinking he had the biggest hand.

I fully agree, the game against these players should be as solid as possible, like cracks, fhush with A, these will surely break the loose aggressive villain.

"Tight with tricks" - I really love that style against loose players.
So, with it you can very rarely bluff against them by re-raising their bets, BUT you should show only good cards on showdown. It`s important.

gl, see you at the tables.


Just want to say i appreciate this post and it has enlighten me a bit. Recently posted a thread wanting to know how you play against these players( https://www.cardschat.com/forum/learning-poker-57/how-do-you-play-against-these-327841/ ), having recently played a live home game against a couple of such like opponents and having lost to them in numerous hands where they held rags but where able to make FHs, straights etc. Appreciate the post and ive already taken the parts i needed from it. Kudos :cool:

If its freeroll tournaments you're talking about, its gonna be crazy in the beginning. For the betonline 100 freerolls its not uncommon for a thousand people to be eliminated in the first 10 minutes alone. With play so volatile you can either beat em or join em. If you join them it presents an quick opportunity to double up, which also presents a quick opportunity to eliminate yourself as well. If you choose not to be apart of the nonsense you can play solid poker till the middle of the tournament that's usually when the bingo dies down. That's also around the times where the antes and blinds makes it worthwhile to start stealing the blinds.

To play against loose aggressive players make sure you start play with good starting hands such as AK, AQ and so forth, then you hope you catch a good flop so then when your opponents play aggressive you don't have to worry about not having a hand. If you don't have a hand post flop, fold it and live to see another hand.

However the more likely scenario, if you don't make a hand, my suggestion would be to shove all your chips preflop with premium starting hands, this strategy can diffuse an aggressive player from taking advantage of you.
