 How to beat the lucky player, JB McMichael, 18. Feb 2003 16:11 | ||

| I play mainly 3-6. I am used to the people that play at this level. I am used to the way they play, and I can get around them most of the time. But this last sunday was something different. A guy sat down at the table and just got one lucky draw after the next. The most memorable one was calling down a 3-bet pre-flop wihth 8-2s, and making his flush on the river. And this kept happening for him all the time. Play Q6 off , and flop a full house. It was ridiculous the hands this guy was getting. In the 2 hours I was at the table with him, he won over $500. Somehow I managed to avoid him. We were only involved in 2 pots togther, he won one, and I won the other. And my question is, how do you play against someone that just feels the deck will come along and save them? | ||

| Keep playing the bugger. Slow aggressive play will win in a long enough time span | ||

| You should be grateful to the poker gods for putting them at your table. I've played with this type of player and know how frustrating it can be to see them condtradict all good poker theory and still win. If you think about it, you really do want this guy in your pots. If he is drawing to inside straights and baby flushes you'll make money off him. He might have some short time luck, but i would play with him as much as possible. Mark | ||

The more you play, the less interesting tales like this become. Every week, I sit at at least one table of 10-20 with some dummy robbing the entire table. It happens. They'll lose it back slowly. Why we notice this is that nobody sits down with $4000 and dumps it all hand after hand - they sit down with $400 and lose it, then buy back in. They are just another fish. Then when their magical day comes and they start winning, it piles up....like a slots player, the jackpot comes all at once. Now it is a table stakes game, so it sits in front of them and looks impressive. There's no magical secret to playing this guy. Just play good cards and say nice things when he rivers you. | ||
