    I was playing a 6 max 1/2 table last night and a player called darudered sat down. He literally raised the pot on every hand from every position. I started playing super tight but then found myself paying him off when I had the second nuts and he had the nuts. What's the best way to play a serial raiser like this? Eventually I found myself folding hands I'd always play, tilted off some of my profit and then moved table. He plays quite well postflop too..

    hit flops.

    reraise with big suited rundowns and good AA and KK hands.

    but most of all .. .hit flops.

    Get position on him.

    Raise OOP when you have a premium starting hand, if he reraises, come back over the top....Make him pay; Come over the top hard with premium starting hands when you have position. As per above you have to hit the flop to continue further. But when you do pound it hard...make him pay!

    BTW I am familiar with the fella and he indeed plays well post flop, enough that he can potentially outplay most "part-timers".

    You need to beat this guy preflop.

    ALL IMO though...but i know it works.

    Leave the table, your basically asking how to beat a very good aggressive player. There is no easy solution.

    Thats what I did, but I didnt want to leave as there were 3 of my buddies at the table. I also encountered the exact same problem on Saturday against a super aggressive Omaha player in the Jackpot. Now that was the only Omaha game there, so leaving the table wasn't too appealing. I find that I tighten up like a clam in situations like this and start playing weak tight donkey poker.
