Hello everyone, I have a qestion: for you what is the best way to beat weak players in small stackes cash game live?

I am playing in casino cash game live NL 2$ 3$, and there are a lot of agressive weak player.

I am reading the book "small stakes no limit holdem" of ed miller, Metha Flynn, but sometimes they speaks about bluff and fold equity, but I think that against some kinds of weak agressive players, we dont have fold equity.


what do you think?

Figure out solid pre-flop strategy, especially with your oop calls and call of his 3bets/4bets.

Just play a lot with him in position with good hands, reduce your bluffs to minimum, if you do bluff, choose the spot where it's obvious he has weak holding (like 2nd pair on 3 flush board) and bomb hard (like pot it or overbet it), don't try to bluff him of top pairs ever.

Value town him hard, especially when you know he has something decent (like Ax on A high board that doesn't have obvious flush or straight, and you have two pair+), don't be shy of value betting him wide and thin with small bets when he has something very weak (like A high or low pair).

Avoid being sticky on turns and more importantly rivers, especially when fish bets big and you don't have nuts or second nuts.

Thank you very much for the advise,but for example can I bet for value and call big raise with top pair top kicker, or is better wait for nuts/second nuts to exploit the fish?
Because sometimes I am afraid that the weak player was been lucky, and for example in a flop like A 7 5, after my raised pre flop with AK, he go all in and show me 7 5 or a flush draw that make him win.

TPTK is a very good hand against fish, good 99% of the times when fish is in check-calling/calling down mode. However, don't get married to it when fish just raises you when you have it (like on A75r) and bombs blank or drawy turn, you should be very suspicious because fish almost never bluffs in spots like that.

So, for example, my hand is AA in sb, the fish raise in position, I reraise and he call.
The flop is 4d 5d 6c, I bet, he reraise, i call. Turn is 9c, i check, he overbet the pot. I have to fold i this spot?

Because I saw some fish who bet ALL STREETS with nothing, but I saw last time one fish who call a reraise of my friend preflop of 20 (blinds 2 $ 3$), flop is 332, my friend with KK bet 3/4 of the pot, the fish reraise all in ( the pot is more or less 110, the fish stack is 170), my friend call, and the fish show 10 3!!!

Sometimes is not easy fold a good hand against a fish you know bluff a lot!

what do you think about these scenarios?

As I told you, your tptk or overpair is good 99% of the times fish is in check-calling or calling down mod. But as soon as you face action like you dude in 456 hand, it's very likely you are beat. Also, it's good to check that flop with AA. In general, most of the fishes don't bluff, if they do, it's usually with some small sizings in stupid spots. When they bomb it with big bets on later streets they have it.

So my friend in that hand with KK and flop 332, against fish reraise allin, had to fold?

in that particular hand I don't think he can fold, be he shouldn't bet KK so big on 332.

if fish is calling pre with T3, that means he will also call preflop with prettymuch anything else. and fish usually does not call preflop to flop trips or twopair. they just want a piece of the flop or some backdoor draw and they will continue. so KK is pretty much unfoldable in that spot. but you should really abserve the weak players. some will limp/call pretty much any hand and call post flop with a very wider range, but once they actually raise (aggressive move) they have a really big hand. some other might be more aggressive preflop but become really passive post flop. some others just want to gamble (meaning they are not stupid). meaning they will showdown lots of crappy hands when they play against other "gamblers", but once they play vs u they become much more careful. just play tight, bet big once there are some draws...
on that 332 flop with KK you can actually consider checking, because fish will just think you have AK and start betting. or you bet 1/3 of the pot and give him a chance to raise if he has a medium pocket pair.
