Default How To Play A Table full of Loose Agressive Idiots

I play down at Hard Rock on there 1/2 dollar texas holdem tables, I do good against a table that is playing passive, consertive and every now in then a dummy.
But the last trip was the 1st time I lost money in a while.

The whole table was full of loose agressive idiots that would hold a 3,9 offsuit all the way to the river even though no hope was in there favor.

You can top of bets to run them off and when your playing idiots like that seeing that theres 9 of them and one of you its a 90% chance that they have something that can beat out your high cards.

Even when I was playing super tight like Jack Queen suited or double Kings, someone else always ended up with something bigger. like 3 2's by getting it on the river or something like that.

Is there a way to play these types or is the only stradegy is leave the table and hope they dont follow.

Noah

P.S. capping off reaises and re-raises didnt back any of them down and one guy there even told them he had the nut flush.

Ohh there were 3 aces after the river and 5 people stayed in , and all 5 re-raised to cap it off.

When all 5 players put down there cards not one of them had a Ace.

Just save your money and leave the table, games like this are impossible to beat.

You've come to the right place, but you need to read the FAQ in the Micros forum to get started. Also, read my welcome post.

These games are very difficult to beat consistently. My recommendation to you is to move up to a higher limit.

Just move up to the $20/$40 games or greater. Usually in these games the players are more professional and play better. This way it should be easy for you to win.

Noah,

As you may have noticed by the not-so-subtle responses of some of the others, the Small Stakes forum is generally populated by people who have spent a lot of time studying the game. Posts that indicate a lack of understanding of the fundamental profitability of the games you describe are not taken w/ much sympathy or seriousness here. Don't let the term "micro-limits" offend your ego, there are a lot of skills to be learned there first.

Guys...I think the point has been made, let's cut the n00b some slack. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
