What strategy can i apply?
I've been playing some home games and have come across a player that I can't seem to beat.
He raises on every pair he has, and makes it to the river nearly 90% of all the pots. He does not play on position nor respect the raise.
But he seems so lucky, because he can get a flush, straight, double pair almost 75% of the time on the River.
I'vebeen playing tight, position play with raises only on premium hands. But because this is shorthanded game, my blinds diminish my pile before i can get my hands on a good hand.
Another problem is once I raise,either on flop or turn, they always seem to fold so fast, knowing I'm playing my premium hand.
Help!!!

when you see the table starting to tighten up against you, start making position raises with anything... once they lose respect for you tighten up..
just keep doing that cycle...
as for fish boy... it's simple... don't bluff and just value bet... and do your best not to pay off his draws... eventually you'll bust him...

Re: What strategy can i apply?
I'd mix in a little deception into your game. Like if I have a 89s I might raise occasionally. And I might limp in with AK occasionally. I think if you play only 5% of your hands and always for a raise you are just narrowing your range too much for any sort of thinking player. I'd occasionally try to show up with something weird in a hand I raised if you are known for being tight. It only takes one hand, but if they see you raise like once with 87os o something weird, and you show the hand down, they will start to wonder when you are raising, and just a little bit of doubt drastically widens their perception of your hand range for PFRs.
