taking a stand

Bandana boy

.5-1 NLhe 6 max
I have been playing for about 30 mins and every pre-flop raise i have made has been called oop by 1 of 2 players and they have open pushed the flop every time
I have been caught once with AK hit my K on draw board and got stacked by flopped 2 pair
I have reloaded and it is continuing
Stacks they are both 200+ i have 100

Should i start taking a stand with marginal hands
Wait it out till i hit big
and if so should i stop raising al together ?

It depends how big your bankroll is and how much variance affects you..if you can withstand losing a couple of stacks if they get lucky keep playing as is and call them when u make any sort of a hand

Sounds like a dream setup..... wheres the problem?

It doesn't depend on your bankroll (unless it is something crazy like 600), it sounds like you were playing fine.

You should be raising MORE, not less, because raising is setting up such profitable situations. If they keep playing like this it is profitable to raise 62o on the button.

If they do this EVERY time, as you say, then its real easy to play against this guys.

Im sure you can see why.

i played a dude like this heads up at the weekend.
1500 stacks, blinds 10/20, he was making it 240+ pre flop every hand.
It was the easiest game to win ive ever played.
We played about 31 hands, he won 28 of them, i won the match.
Make big raises, but only with good cards, fold the junk, if they keep over betting as soon as u hit u will get paid off.
Dont risk calling them with marginal junk.
They are giving themselves terrible odds on u not hitting a hand.
If they keep pushing flops, check it to them when u do hit, let them hang themselves.

Do not be afraid to reload in this situation. These players are just waiting to pay out, the bigger their stack, the better. I met a player on PPP recently at .5/1 who had a stack of over 900 at one stage, I lost my first buy-in against him, reloaded and ended up taking his entire stack, leaving the table with 1160 dollars. At one stage he declared via the chat box that all his pre-flop raises from then on would be to 50 dollars, and true to his word he did, I waited until the opportune moment and got it all in preflop against him, me with AKo, him with j 10o. Pot was over a grand. Board read 10 A Q rag rag. A brown trousers moment if ever there was one.
