    Just a little guidance here please,

    currently i am having a lot of trouble taking money from players with 50-70 vpip.
    It really is annoying the bejesus outta me.

    It seems that every time i have a hand, they are able to lay it down.
    Or when they dont lay it down, they have me beat !!!

    I play quite tight myself, VPIP of 18% and PFR of about 13%.
    Should I change anything when sat with these players?

    Can they be pushed off pots and are the raising with really weak hands ??
    They play so many it is hard to tell.

    It has got so bad that I am actually playing on tighter tables cos what these players do makes sense to me !!

    So as I say, just looking for some opinions please before I go insane.

    Thanks

    Bet the sh1t out of your made hands. Don't slowplay, don't bluff, and run better.

    Double your open amount for a few rounds and see how they react. Bet pot every street. Don't bluff (unless you really want to).

    When you have a hand, don't slow play it, bet near the pot or pot every time because they will stay in the hand until the river so they can hit their gutshot, their overcards thier flushes or whatever it is that they want. Like if the pot is 20, they are going to call if you bet 12, 16, 20 so they can hit.

    It is not harm calling more than you usually would just to get into a pot with the bad players. Having position on these players is the key thing really.

    They won't lay down any made hands such as a pair on the board, a pair in their whole cards etc. Do not bluff them just value bet them all the time with TP or better. Do not bluff them

    Hope this helps a bit, also playing with these guys can be high variance as they play with such bad hands that they can have some rare hands at times that you really won't see and will pay them off with your AA when their 84o makes a straight on the river etc!!
