    I'm probably the only person on this site to try to put a player on a hand, call a large bet on the end and find out that the reason you couldn't put them on a hand was that they limped in with AQo, called a raise and played it horribly on every street before outdrawing you on the river.

    So I racked my brains trying to come up with a strategy to beat these "weak" players (I love using quotation marks for no apparent reason). My epiphany....

    .... Fight fire with fire. If they play bad, play worse. If they call with 83s and take half your stack, you call with 82o and take all of theirs. This has to work. Some of the top pros are probably employing this technique as we speak. BeLOWaBOVe seems to have it off to a tee. Hell, it would probably work against BeLOWaBOVe.

    Calling that a gem information is like calling Rosie O'Donnell sexy.

    Not saying she's sexy, exactly, but I'd do her. But then I don't get out much anymore and my standards have dropped a little of late.
