Re: starting standards when playing behind an aggressive player?
I am not sure that I would call with hands that normally I would fold, so I guess I wouldn't lower my starting hand requirements. I would probably ignore his raises for the most part and reraise with hands like 77,66, etc. especially if most of the others have folded. If he bets out a lot even when he missed the flop, I might go for check raises more frequently.
I played at a table that for the most part was pretty tight and a mix of passive/aggressive. The player to my right was LAG and would raise with A4s, Q6s, or reraise A6o. Sometimes he connected and but usually he didn't.
I wasn't getting good cards most of the time but when I did, I really pumped them and was aggressive with them. When I felt my hand was good, even when overcards were on the board, I was comfortable playing against him.
