Default Re: scared of a lucky dood?

I play against these kind of players all the time. They are easy to beat. If you are playing solid poker you dont need to change a thing, except bet more into them.

"Lucky" players have some deadly flaws...

1) They will call raises and large bets with weak hands because "they know they will hit".

2) They will go to the felt with a weaker hand because they feel they are "lucky" and hit the flop for two pair or the like against a made hand.

"Unlucky" players get stacked by them because...

1) They lack hand reading skills. If you can not put a player on a small range of hands, you need to not be playing against that player until you can.

2) They get married to their "big" starting hands and over play them for all their stack. At the end of the hand a pair only beats a high card...
