Information, that is.

A lot of poker strategy involves using information you get from your opponents to make decisions about how to bet, what to call, etc.

In online games, that tends to take the form of history of the player and how they respond to your bets.

So what do you do with a player that always plays the same? I was at a table the other night with someone who checked when they could or called just about any bet to them, no matter what they had. If they stayed in the hand, I knew they had a pair. Of anything. 3's, Aces, tens, it didn't matter. They might also have trips, or a full house, or the absolute stone nuts.

How do you deal with someone like that? The best I can think is you just ignore them and try to take the beats philosophically.
