Extremely Tight Player!, element94, 14. Jul 2003 12:15

I played at a local casino this weekend for about 2 hours. A player folded every single hand while I was there! How do I play a person like this and when they bet at a pot do I assume they have KK or AA? My hands were very cold, best I could do was two pair.

Ask for a seat change to 2 or 1 on their immediate right and raise their BB every chance you get. These types of player are profitable to bluff against with any two cards (pre-flop) because their calling standards are way too high. Otherwise, onoy worry about the other 8 folks in the game because this player will rarely be in a pot anyway.

First, you get on to their right and start stealing against them *a lot*. Second, you give them credit for only massively good starting cards and when a flop hits you super-hard and you are in, punish them. If a flop doesn't hit you superhard and they are in, play running scared. Fold your AK on a king high flop when they bet the flop at you.

First, you thank the "Poker Gods" for sitting a Rock, no BOULDER, at your table.

Secondly, you wipe the drool off your mouth.

Thirdly, you raise him/her with EVERYTHING. If he re-raised fold unless you have a monster.

Lastly, you place your winnings in your rack. (Yaeeeeeeeee)

Always remember, play opposite the grain. Play loose against Rocks. Play tight against maniacs.

A player that almost never plays a hand is playing too tight for the blinds....Rob his blinds...Changing seats to push him out of pots and putting yourself in a position to shut him out of his blinds will be a positive thing.....Also don't give him any action if he plays a hand!
