How to deal with the guy that always PFR's?
I currently am a few months into my online poker 'career' and am an overall novice with Holdem. I've read this site a bit and ordered a few of the books. I am trying to learn as much as I can about No Limit Holdem.
But one particular theme is driving me nuts. I play $0.05/.10 NLHE on Bodog and in the long run (two whole months) have been going well. I play tight agressive and am working to play tighter preflop.
Usually when I play I find myself at a table with someone who is constantly raising $1-2 preflop. I dont mean every once in a while. I am talking every other hand.
Take the guy at my table tonight. I made a list of some hands he had preflop.
$1 preflop with KTs
$1 preflop with A2o
$2 preflop raise with AA
$2 preflop AJo
$1 prelop raise with QJs. Called an $8 AI that followed.
$1 PFR with pair of 6's. Called a $6 AI that followed.
$1 PFR with QJo.
Now this is preflop and the smallest buy in table I can find. Max money you can bring to the table is $10. But his stack is usually around $70 that he gets from buying out the pots of people who call his PFR.
After the flop though I have noticed that he will keep pushing money in until people fold. Most of the people at our tables will go through their complete buy in if they actually want to get to the end of the hand.
What I have basicly done to prevent my money being slowly drained is if I am not willing to pay $1 to see the flop I will not put my money down.
What is the best way to handle this particular person or people that play like them?
I have considered moving up to a higher table in hopes of finding people that dont do this. Would that at all be a wise choice? My BR is ~300 right now.
