KidPokerKid 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Alright so everyone has that one person at the table who is the absolute epitome of a ROCK. That player that never plays a hand. Well, I always come to find myself running into the player whom never gets into a pot unless they have the nuts. Obviously I rarely get in a pot with them, but everyone else at the table can't seem to understand the concept! Everytime I play poker, I always find that the tightest player at the table ends up with one of the biggest chip stacks. I'm a very aggressive player (not loose, but smart aggressive). But whenever these tight players get ahold of chips, they never let go of them because they are never in the hands to lose them! It seems like the only chance I get to take any money from them is when I make a play by raising it up on the button and find the "Dinosaur" at the table calling my raise! From then, I can usually outplay the player. But my question is... When you are at a cash game table where the threat of "being blinded out" is not a threat, how do you take chips from a rock? I always see weak players giving away all their chips to these weak tight players, and then I rarely get a chance to find myself in a pot with them! I'm always looking for a chance to outplay or outdraw them, but when the player rarely gets in a pot, and only raises OUTRAGEOUS amounts not even worth calling, how do I even get involved!? Do I just constantly avoid them and let the weak players give them their money!? I can't just let this happen! What would you all do? :PEDIT: Ah sorry but I just realized that this is in the wrong forum, so sorry! Link to post Share on other sites

KidPokerKid 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 how many new threads you going to start today?3 to be exact, and if you read them all you would see that I apologized for posting so many. You seem to start a lot of heated arguments with people, so please refrain on my posts, you would think that THIS topic wouldn't be one that would start yet another argument, but I could be wrong. Please only post if you have a response to the questions, not degrading remarks. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
BearCanada 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 The rock can't always have the best hand but they tend to bet big when they think they do. If they are truly weak like you say, be patient, wait for those circumstances when they have the the 2nd nut flush and you have the nut flush and trap trap trap. If they are smarter then that then you have a Dan Harrington on your hands and all you can do is steer clear and get the other weak players chips before the rock scoops them with his monster hand. -Bear Link to post Share on other sites
