3 guys playing together in our home game....

we've got 10 or 11 guys that show up on a regular basis to play. However, there are 3 guys (black guys) that come in and we suspect they are playing together. They raise with anything PF, and tend to suck out more than I've ever seen. You can't make a bet big enough to get them out. They call gutshots, open enders, and flush draws no matter how big the bet. And one of them hits something since they always stay in. If you have AA, they all call and your odds are non-existent.

The other 7 or 8 on the table have agreed to play together to try and run them out of our game. We played a "fake" game last night (without them there, obviously) where everyone was trying to stay in if one of the "enemy" raised, but they still ended up breaking us in the mock game.

Should we just not let them come to the game anymore, or is there a way that the group of 7 can get the $$$ out of the 3 that are playing together? It seems like 12/14 cards would beat 6 cards well over half the time. Any suggestions?

Is it relevant that they're black?

If you seriously believe that anyone is cheating the best thing to do is stop inviting them. I know it seems like the easy way....

...because it is.

No, but seeing that everyone else is white I thought I would mention it. I am not racist and said nothing about their character, other than it is being questioned at the moment. It's just really sketchy.

They all come in with about 1000 in their pocket and continually buy in if they go bust. They almost never fold and raise with ANY suited cards.

I want to break their ass. Is there a way?

I'd have to say that you are a moron. If they are calling raises with anything and just sucking out, what help do you want? There is nothing you can do about people getting lucky, and it will all even out in time. And if you don't want all three of them calling when you raise with AA, you don't understand poker. They almost never fold, yet you can't figure out how to break them? Here's a crazy idea... wait for a big hand and bet big; don't bluff.

What you dont understand is that I've done that and gotten beat. I sit there and wait on QQ, KK, or AA. Then when I get it I raise PF and they ALL stay in. At that point my odds are terrible. A bad hand ends up winning bc they're all in the hand. See what I'm saying?

Ummm...no, I don't understand what you're saying and you obviously don't understand poker.

AA is a monster hand that will will big money no matter how many people are in the hand. The fundamentals of poker don't change just because a number of people play every hand to the river. In fact, that is the easiest game on the planet to beat.

Move to higher limits. They'll respect your raises there.

This makes no sense. I play in a weekly home game too and I would LOVE if everybody called with "anything" when I have AA. You are just running bad. This sounds like a dream table. Keep playing with them and start making a list of things to buy with your future profits.
