How do you play vs people who dont know how to play?!

[Miche033]

Me and my friends seem to play alot, though ive probably won more times with them then i have lost its just frusturating to play people who call a pre-flop raise with a Jack-4 Off suit, and then catch 2 pairs and full houses like you wouldnt believe.

anyone have anytips or advice on how to beat these people that play EVERYHAND calling no matter what, it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to play the player here, its just purely luck when it comes to playing vs. them it seems...

theres never any bluffing, just pure luck on the flop/turn/river...

anyone have ne clue on how to work them?!!?!

thanks

i would tighten up a bit and when i got a good hand, REALLY make them pay for playing crap. not much else you can do really. this is a pretty common problem......crappy players are gonna catch more cards because they play more hands. with tight, disciplined play, you WILL take their money over the long run. 8)

Playing tight is logical. But I would actually LOOSEN up. With bad players, it means you generally will have the best hand whenever you enter a pot. So for example, a hand like A-9, which I would normally fold, I would start playing, knowing that junk players would call with anything. Bad players will easily call with stuff like Ace-rag and if you hit top pair, you could easily get paid off.

Bascially, I would play looser and less aggressive. Even though that sounds crazy, if you loosen up, your adjusting to the fact that their horrible hands will now get beat by your marginal hands. You should take a lot of pots with just stuff like top or second pair. And since you said they don't bluff or make moves, you can fold easily if your reraised...

When it comes to low limit hold'em...you can't get fancy...you must simply bet for value!

A loose table is actually a good thing when you think about it...you can hold draws.....and draws ar ez to fold postflop when you miss....
...but when you draw hits.....Cha-ching!!!
