What do you do about people raising and not letting you play?
I always Set a Trap for them, start complaining about it so they feel encourage and even stars.... and then wait for the Munster hand, start slowly until they bite and then... Got Them!
I am pretty surprised nobody mentioned this before, but you shouldn't be limping in general.
1. You really don't want to be finding hands to limp with.
2. Range problem. If you are having trouble playing because of a raise/re-raise it is because you need to tighten up your range.
I love the "fishing" analogy in this bit of advice!
Most of these responses seem to imply that you should just wait for a really big hand. Unfortunately, these don't come along often enough to make this a successful strategy in most situations. In order to combat the raisers and reraisers, you have to be willing to attack them with some mediocre hands. If they are really raising that much, most of the hands they are raising with are going to be mediocre and they are going to fold them to a strong raise.
If you can't win some pots with mediocre hands, you are going to just bleed out waiting for that monster.
Playing mediocre hands with someone constantly raising/re-raising can be a huge leak. It gets far to easy to call a raise, miss the flop, and have to fold. You HAVE to avoid this. You have to pick your spots and go with it. I would agree with you, if we were in a cash game, but I think in a tournament the chips have a lot more value.
The OP seemed to let someone's aggression affect him, this is a mistake. Personally, I don't care who raises/re-raises a pot when I'm not in it and I"m not going to extend my range to play with you just because you raised the last 5 pots.
When a hand is in my range, I'm okay with playing a big pot.
