Ok, I mentioned how unlucky I get when playing tournaments. But in cash games I seem to do alright. My best games seem to be limit tables, but I occassionally play some NL home cash games. For the most part I do alright at them as well. A majority of the time I end up making money... Not getting rich, but coming out ahead nonetheless. But there is one player I play against on a regular basis that I just can't seem to beat.

This guy will call any raise with any two cards from any position. He will gladly chase a flush when he needs runner-runner, and make it most of the time, no matter how much you bet. You can raise 5x the BB with AA and he'll call you with 35 suited and end up catching his flush or two pair. I know poker logic dictates that you want this type of player at your table. But I have played with this guy for more than a year now and I have NEVER seen him leave with less money than he started with. He has no clue about odds or position, in fact, if you mention either of those things to him he will look you in the eye and ask "What the hell does that have to do with anything?" He plays totally by "feel".

So how do you beat this type of player? My strategy for the most part is to just avoid him as much as possible. He simply ignores aggression and trying to trap him usually ends up backfiring on me. For example: I once thought I had trapped him with a nut flush, I knew he was chasing it with lower cards of the suit and when it hit on the turn I knew he'd call any bet I made, only to see him catch a straight flush on the river. What a pisser.

So how would you combat this type of player? Am I doing right to just try avoiding him?
