Too many fish?

[pokerguard]

Okay, I'm playing .25/.50 tables at Pacific.

The problem I'm running into is that those seeing the flop is running about 70%, and if they hit anything or get any time of draw, they stay till river.

At least every hand, there's several chasing a flush draw, a straight draw, or bottom pair on flop ends up hitting 3 of a kind on river.

What's the strategy when almost everyone chases to river and you're holding top pair, or 3 of a kind, and it's 4th street and 2 suited are showing, and half the table is still in. They all check to you, so you can't raise their bet, and if you bet, you just get calls... no chance of capping or making it costly for them to chase.

The list is endless.....
Trips - busted to flush
Trips - busted to straight
Big Slick pair busted to 3 of a kind (one 6 on flop, other on river with AK on board.
Flush busted out to a boat on river. (I flopped the nut flush, and presented that I had it the best I could).
Pocket Queens hitting a set busted out on river to a gutshot straight.

They just will not fold until they've seen all the cards

Well, when they check to you, you've got two choices. Check or bet. If you don't like betting, then consider the merits of the only other option.

K... Sorry guys, it's just driving me nuts. I use Poker Tracker, and different sites...this is just new.

This just started all of a sudden. There has always been one, maybe three calling stations at a table, calling with junk. But the whole freaking table?

Flop more sets.

i do believe the correct answer is: move up in limits.

Oooooh. Another opportunity to cite this classic.

[@bsolute_luck]

get a virus and send it to their computer that forces them to continue to bet/raise when they have nothing and to auto-fold when ever they have something...at least that's how i keep winning [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Nah, go to the Cryptos or Absolute. Nobody calls with anything there. You'll be much happier dragging down 2 BB pots rather than 20 BB pots.

I found a 6 max .5/1 table at UB where my 25% VP$IP dragged the table down to 75% It a night of wild swings.
