Thanks for doing this.
A lot of times I don't want to stop their agression. I am absolutely not afraid to check/call down very aggro opponents with 2nd pair in some situations even for my whole stack. See the fundamental probelm with very loose and very aggressive postflop play is that against good people who can read hand they simply know that you can't have the nuts everytime. So for example if I have a decent hand OOP and a very aggro player bets the flop and I call, bets the turn, and bets the river, only a very strong hand wants to play for stacks. And he knows that only a very strong hand wants to play for stacks which is why he is betting. But I know that only a very hand wants to play for stacks as well and that is why I am calling him
They just can't have the nuts every time and if I have a hand that can pick off their muti street bluff I will just check/call it down the whole way.
As they start to catch onto what I am doing they are naturally going to stop 3 barreling me. Which that is fine too. Becuase then I can start to check call the flop with marginal hands like 2nd or 3rd pair and know that they are not going to try and bluff me and I will get to showdown cheap. There are really a ton of ways to combat these guys. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve, but prefer to keep some of them to myself too.
Hope this helps.
