Suicide Tables at the Party 22s/33s
Hi all. Been lurking on this forum for a couple months now, and I've picked up a great deal of useful info without the abuse of RGP. Thanks very much.
That said, I'd like to ask your advice on something that's really been bothering me lately: suicide tables. You know the symptoms: - Straddling every hand, then defending by calling/reraising with garbage - Overbetting every hand (7x BB or more preflop raises) - Reraising from the SB every hand Well it seems like every hand lately. Sometimes it's one player doing it, sometimes it's five. It seems more like raw gambling degenerates playing a slot machine and soothing their egos than any kind of poker. Here's the question: Is there any effective defense other than playing real tight and betting/trapping with the best hand, or waiting for short stack play? You can't really play poker in this environment, and mutually assured suicide (re-re-raising with marginal hands) doesn't seem to make sense either. I really enjoy playing poker, much easier to do at tighter tables, but these idiots really turn the game into an annoying grind. Any advice appreciated. TIA.

Re: Suicide Tables at the Party 22s/33s
you've been lurking here for a couple of months and you still don't understand one of the easiest ways to make money at this game?
To answer your question, wait for a decent hand to hammer the lags with.

Re: Suicide Tables at the Party 22s/33s
There were some replies attempting to be funny, but this is actually one of the easiest situations to play.
Wait for a premium hand. If you get it, bet for value. If you never get a premium hand, you lose. Oh well. Fire up another.
