 Hmmm...
I went to a friend of mine who's an excellent poker player with that exact same problem -- I tended not to do well against very weak, sometimes even inexperienced players and I wanted to know how to shore up my game.
As nxtyear mentioned, I think flop play is key here. The advice I was given was, to whatever extent possible, to build a big stack, see as many flops as you can (cheaply!). This usually means in the early rounds, when this strategy is most critical anyway.
Basically it means calling or raising more hands, seeing the flop, and playing from there. Good flush draws, outside straight draws, and trips, you bet hard. Middle/bottom pair you just fold then and there. Against inexperienced players, games are won after the flop, not before.
Once the blinds are higher, seeing the flop becomes more expensive but at this point many of the newbies are gone and hopefully you've got a nice stack of chips. Then revert back to the tight/aggressive game you've worked so hard on!
I tried his advice, and it worked like a charm for me.  |
