One Way I am Losing a Lot of Money

[DaveduFresne]

Is against super aggressive players. For example I was playing against this guy yesterday at 50 NL. He had about 150 in his stack I had about 70. Every time he was in the last three seats he would raise preflop to between 4 and 5 dollars. (The standard raise is usually between 2 and 2.5).

I let him take a few down before I realized what he was doing. Then I wake up in the bb with AK. I think I made it 12 to go. He calls. Flop comes Q98. I bet pot, he goes all in. Of course I fold. He flashes me 107 offsuit.

A similiar hand happened later where I had AQ and reraised him, missed the flop once again, and again he bet me off it.

So I was getting a little peeved and this time saw AJ offsuit, pushed all in and he called me with AQ offsuit and took my just recently reloaded stack.

It was a little unusual for his hand to be this good, he seemed to mostly have something like 97 offsuit or other similiar one gappers or two gappers. He was up from hitting a lot of flops, so he seemed to be running well.

Basically his strategy was to raise with any two cards from late position, call any reraise (at least up to three times his initial raise) check the flop, wait for me to pot it, and go all in. As I was missing every flop, this got quite costly for me.

I dont like going all in with Ace high.....Anyway, I'm out of ideas on how to handle this kind of player. I seem to get myself in a lot of trouble trying to play against them preflop when I know their flop strategy. My pocket nines that I push run into AQ that hits or like yesterday my AJ goes up against AQ.

I know nines losing to AQ is somewhat unlucky, but I want to avoid a coinflip against this type of player in the first place.

So, to make my question concise, how do you deal with a player that raises you a tenth of your stack preflop, and is willing to get it all in on the flop?

What type of hands should I be waiting for preflop, and what should I do if I miss the flop?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
