Is this limit or
no limit?
I
don't think it's that hard in limit. You just
don't c-bet without a hand, and you try to be a good way
ahead of his
range if you
call, and
don't
raise unless you're confident you got him.
At NL you should
open up, but again not too much.
I see too many people reraising these players with air, and get stacked with 3rd pair. That's pretty dumb.
I had exactly that type of player two seats to my left yesterday. I alone made 3 BI from him. Pretty much all I did was
call him pf with a
top x%
range whatever the number of hands he opened up was, then called him down when I had
top pair or better, and
fold everything else. If you hit
second pair you're probably
ahead, but you are increasing your
variance by a good
deal if you play for stacks with these hands.
Also try to pay attention how far they go on a
bluff. Many of those guys will
fire on the
flop and
turn every time, but shut down on the
river, or just make a
psb on the
river, but
shove if they got it.
Maybe a good idea is to try it yourself once. Put one or two buy-ins aside and
raise relentlessly. It will not be +EV but it might give you a better idea how to play against them.

I am guessing that part of it would be to not let the pattern happen in the first place. Also I will take your advice and try their style for a bit. It should be interesting. One thing I do know is one area I need to improve drastically is my 3-betting and 4-betting and also how to respond when 3-4 bet.
