I've been playing in a weekly NL tourney for about 10 weeks. Buy-in $10
Usually 6-7 players each week. P1 is very tight passive, P2 is tight passive aggressive when he has the nuts or close(an easy dodge), P3&P4 are loose passive, Hero is tight passive aggressive, Villain very loose very aggressive. (Ex. raises PF out of position with 46os)
In theory the villain's style of play should lose in the long run however he has won 6 weeks straight.
Villain consistently builds pots PF and flop and then blows the passive players out of the pot with weak to marginal hands on the turn and river. He takes pot after pot from them and quickly becomes chip leader.
I play passive-aggressive against villain so he will trap himself and always go to showdown with middle pair and sometimes A-high with much success. I've tried playing very aggressive against the villain but he just folds. The number of pots i take from him doesn't keep up with the number of pots he takes from the passive players.
I have tried a LAG style against the passive players so my stack can keep up with the villain's but the passive players don't fear me nearly as much as they do the villain and usually call me down causing me to be more selective. Which in turn gives the villain more opportunities to steal more pots.
I think i'm a better player than the villain but his 6week win streak is causing doubts.
Any advice on how to crush the villain would be appreciated.
