Re: Need Strategy to Beat Hyper-Aggressive Player
I didn't read HOH because I rarely, if ever play tourneys. Howeever in cash games as well as tounreys this is called having a read on your opponent. I;m not trying to sound sarcastic but you have to think about the situation you're in and what his range of hands he'll push with. If that's me and he pushes I look at my position, if it's folded to me and I'm closing the betting I'll call with many pocket pairs (99 or higher, sometimes lower) AK-AJ, possibly AT or A9 too and probably A7 suited or above. I know this is ridiculous tourney strategy but it's basically the same as the way you describe the hammer. He's trying to bull the game and not expecting a call. Your call, if you have the best hand a good majority of the time, if the same as a bigt reraise.
Good luck,
Matt
