    Default What to do against this type of opponent?

    I just got finished playing the wierdest heads up ever. It wasnt at the end of a SNG it was just a heads up match. The woman NEVER bet NEVER raised. Not preflop not post flop NEVER. I lost a lot of chips really early when she flopped two pair to my top pair top kicker and called me all the way down. I thought she was on a flush draw. I eventually came back to win but it frustrated the crap out of me. I know this should be the type of player I salivate to play against but I have no idea how to extract chips from these players. How do I know that my top two is good? How can you get anykind of read at all?
    You should never wave at people you don't know, cause what if they don't have a hand. They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got motherfucker, this thing is useful, I'ma go pick somethin up."

    -Don't bet TP real hard. Check along until you get 2pair or better
    -Play all hands that can make straights,flushes. call in SB with any suited, offsuit connectors down to 54o. Check along, complete one of these. Devalue the big broadways; they're good but you're going to get the most chips from come hands.

    Was she calling weak? i.e. loose-passive or tight-passive?

    If tight-passive, bet any 2pr or better hard. Loose-passive bet 2pair & trips medium, straights and flushes hard.

    I forgot to mention that LeFou she was tight passive. Like I said she called me down with top two on the flop. but she would fold to substantial raises. The last hand was somewhat loose though I had 4 something in the BB and flopped 343 turn was a 10 river a 4. I was betting the whole time until I put her all in at the river she flipped over the 10 so I guess that was a loose call.

    i used to hate these people, still frustrates me.. the type that plays AA passive, just call every bet til showdown.

    like someone said, play alot more marginal hands, wait for straights, sets and flushes before milking them.
