    hello everybody! there is my problem, i know a place to play poker, live poker , i am not bad, better at cash game than tournement... my problem is there too many fish and calling station at the table. everynight i leave the place, i said to myself "wow, so much money to win there, but tonight i was not lucky..." i go back many time and have lot of problem to win there. we play 2/5$ nl, most of people buy-in for 100$ example, the other day, i am big blind, receive AA, my turn to tale, only 1 player fold, 8 caller, i raise to 50$, i got 6 callers... flop K-K-9, someone hit his K and lost naturally. but even the flop come 2-3-7, someone hit 2 pairs or something like that. no matters, even you raise 4 to 5x big blind, you always got around 5 callers even if they hold 7-2 off or 10-7 soooooooted! how you beat a game like that???

    Personally i'd play it like it's omaha play lots of speculative hands and dont get heavily involved in pots without something pretty close to the nuts

    Just push all in preflop... if what you describe is true, someone would have called.... hopefully not the guy with K.... maybe pp would.... but even if the king calls and you lose you got your money in as the best which another poster is all that matters - long term.

    sounds like a team, a lot of casinos not only know about em, they allow it. if you see raises and calls while you are still in pot but folds when you are not....... well you can figure it out.

    tough to beat teams, i would find somewhere else to play

    no, i talk about me but even i fold pre-flop, no matters who raise like 4x big blind, you always got 5 to 6 callers. not only against me but against anyone...

    Then raise more. If a 4xBB raise still gets 6 callers, raise 9x or 10x. The few times I've played live I've played 1/2 NL and it usually took a $20 (and sometimes more) preflop raise to clear out most of the callers and get it heads up.

    You need to quit this game and find a game with really good players so you can win.
