I speak jive:

I play in a weekly tournament with a 30$ buy in. The blinds start at 5/10 and the players start with T1700. A raise of 100 doesn't chase the donkeys out and I'm constantly getting drawn out on. I'm pulling my hair out. Tight/Agressive just isn't working here, please help!

Wait until the blinds get higher. Play top 5 (maybe 10) hands until the 3rd-5th level. They will start folding then.

Re: no fold-em holdem
 

if a raise of 100 which is just 17 % of their stacks don't chase out the donkeys, then try raising it up a bit more. and wouldn't you want them calling you when they have garbage cards when you have aces? you come out ahead in the long run against players like that. if they are complete donks, don't try to bluff them and choose your spots to make a move wisely.

Re: no fold-em holdem
 

Just keep playing tight, sticking to the top tens or maybe a few more hands in late position.

That's a gross overbet so I'd shy away from playing anything aggressively except QQ KK AA AK, maybe jacks. If a 9x big blind raise doesn't chase the donks away, don't try to chase the donks away. Wait until you can't be beat then make the bets.

Don't try any fancy moves, don't bluff, don't try to play the players. Play your two cards, win the best hand and make the money.

I'd love to be in this game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
