Default Re: Uber aggressive player/ what to do?

Well, perhaps I'm being unfair and you're using "the nuts" in the rhetorical way people do when they talk about "grinding the nuts". Preflop, the literal nut hand is two aces. If you're paying blinds waiting on aces (because you're just going to fold kings or Big Slick, right?), then you're paying 22 rounds of blinds for each time you get to trap him. Then you'd better hope you're sitting to his left (which is probably a good idea anyway), because if he has a lick of sense he's going to notice that you haven't been limping in with crap so he's not going to push if you've already limped.

We're really arguing about degree of tightness. Yes, you should be tight and agressive. But if you know he's pushing pocket deuces or better with the same frequency he pushes aces, and you're folding nines or tens, you're just tossing away money in the long run.
