In a 10 handed live casino 1 2 cashgame I am trying to figure how to play against a particular villain. I have played about 3 sessions with him.


He seems to be a good tournament player, gets involved in a lot of hands, and does not give up easily. But I think in cash he is a loser, one day he lost fairly big.


1st hand against him: I raised 12 in LP 4 with KK way on flop J86r flop I bet he raises and I call and lose 200 to his 68o. Here I should have folded to his raise as in multiway he would only raise something like 2 pair.

Normally he raises any decent hand, and limps most other hands and rarely folds to a raise.

Last session I raise on btn KT over his bb 200 effective stacks. flop T74r.
I bet 20 and he raises to 40. I make it 90, he folds showing a 10.

Later he limps late I raise 10 KJ on btn HU. He calls 9s4s.
flop Js7s2d
I bet 15 he raises to 45, I push he calls and he wins with a flush.

How should I play when ip against this guy with 200 stack ?
My plan is to raise on btn/CO when ip any two T or higher when he limps to isolate, and with top pair ok kicker get it in.
I should probably cbet overcards, as he will normally fold if misses totally.

It seems like these guys are hard to play against but really they are just spew tards. Let them spew. For example KT hand c/r is an easy flat.

Tighten your overall range but widen your value range. In other words don't open 56s/QJo but do 3b QJs vs this guy.
