I recently started playing 5/10 6-max, where tricky, aggressive opponents are more common. In particular, I was playing two guys who would both bluff raise with nothing on both the flop and turn.
They were not doing this so often that they could be pegged as maniacs and value bet with any decent holding.
Instead, I started calling down when I had a good, but not great hand and was raised on the flop or turn.
This had the effect, for them, of destroying my ability to value bet. Of course, they also had to pay me off for bluffing, and weren't able to get more than 2 BB off me when they did happen to hit any outs they had.
But I didn't like putting them in control. What are other lines/weapons available to me against tricky, loose aggressive (but pretty good) players like this?
