What is your tactic for slowing down the aggressive player on the table? |
Dan Harrington suggests playing right back at these aggressors, his take on them being that they don't really want expensive confrontations, they really just want to pick up a lot of cheap pots from players who will back down. That works better against some aggressors than others, especially online, where some of these players are just all-out maniacs who will literally move in with any two cards. Watch the cards that your aggressor ends up showing down, and see if you can determine whether he's an intelligent player or a maniac. If he's intelligent, playing back at him might just be the way to go. Just be sure you have position of you want to make moves without good cards.
