Help playing on "Dream" table!!

Last night, Party 2/4 produced a table with 1 player at >50%VPIP, >20PFR; 1 player above 70%/20% and 1 above 80%/30%. The biggest maniac was up over 60BB total after an hour and a half of play (by the time I left, his BR had dropped from over $400 to just under $300). The rest of the table were mostly routine 25%/0% players. Two were tight multitablers, one wasn't fairing well. While I did come out ahead, I know I did not come anywhere near optimum. These guys were absolutely nuts, raising with 7,5 off, etc. Pots avg'd over $40, with more than a couple over $70. I need suggestions for a good strategy for play in the unlikely event I can ever get back onto a table with these folks. Comment, please.

Generally, one of the best strategies in Hold 'Em is to flop sets.

I was thinking that just getting dealt Aces all night would be good, but I like your strategy better.

I need help with this. I only seem to flop them 1 out of around 8 times or so. Is this a leak in my game?

if you concentrate really hard, you can turn them more often than normal.

Once you have mastered the flop a set play, you can try to get fancy and work on rivering a boat which completes a flush. My opponents are especially good at this, but I have not yet gotten the hang of it.

What a waste of posts. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Depending on your relative position, you need to tighten up preflop with speculative hands. AXs, suited connectors. PP still have value assuming they payoff postflop (which it sounds like they do).

Depending on position, you can limp reraise with AA, KK, QQ, AKs? Also you should be isolate reraising with much weaker holdings. If I'm up against a pfr 40+ I'll reraise with 2 face cards.

I apologize for wasting time and space, but thank you for your reply. I'll not waste more postings here.

I've found that yelling for my card as the flop is dealt is the luckiest.

Last year I was playing some live 2/4 at Commerce. Typical Commerce six-handed flops. I looked down to 35o and capped the 3-bets coming to me on the button. Because I suck at poker. Anyway I screamed "TWO FOUR SIX" as the dealer started to lay down the flop and, of course, thats exactly what fell. 4 people payed off to the river. The screaming method works, and at Commerce (at least) it is very profitable.
