    Villain is 74/27 The relentless re-raises made me slow down, thinking AK, KQ, KT. I'm new to 6max and I'm facing wierd play like this consitently, ultra agression with queen high or king high. It's throwing me off my game a bit. Any advice would be appreciated.

    meah i don't donk into a capper on the flop... if i don't c/r, i'll probably call down and hope my hand is the best... the guy is a 74/27 which means i pretty much see SD with any hand that has winning potential...

    He is 74/27. He was on the Button. What does this tell us? He doesn't have a set ... he would have raised preflop. He doesn't have KT, KJ, KQ or AK for the same reason. He could have K5.The only hand we might fear on the turn is a random T5s. Donk away. 3-bet it. Cap it. You are ahead way more often than behind. Cap every round and don't be surprised if he shows down 87 of diamonds.

    My advice is watch players like this closely. If you can get a seat to their left, close all your other tables and watch and exploit. You want to get heads up with them, and you want to take hands like this and crush them. You gotta get in his head a little. He raises a lot. He is looking for any good excuse to raise (although not quite as crazy as some I have seen). If he limps in, he does not have 2 broadway cards and he does not have a pocket pair. I've seen many players just go completely crazy like the only button there is post flop is the raise button. Guys like this will cap it with K-high on the river after the turn was capped too as if it was possible to bluff-cap someone in a 25BB pot. Do not be timid. Far more often than not they will have nothing or next to nothing. If you have top pair against one of these players, it is usually strong enough to cap every street.

    Preflop advice against a player like this ... assuming you are on his left. If he open limps, raise with any hand you would open raise on the button, and if the other players have been happy to let you isolate, raise a little looser than that. If he raises, 3-bet with any hand you would have raised if he had limped. You want to isolate and you want to charge him as much as possible for his crappy play.
