 ever get annoyed at that donk ahead of you in the betting who is constantly betting 4 or 5 blind raises pre flop?  here is what i do. don't try and beat him yourself..use the rest of the players against him as well. here is what i do. when the player does his typical raise.....and i have total rags...and there are all the other players waiting to bet behind me.....i will re raise him. with no intention of winning...but hoping..since i have rags..the chances are better the players behind me will have good hands. at least one of them might have a good hand and call. this will force the chronic pre flop bettor to either call the raise..which is what they usually do..or fold..because now you have taken them out of their comfort zone. this works best if you have a total rag hand...like unsuited 9 2 or 7 3....and when there are plenty of players betting behind you. the chronic raiser will have to keep beating 3-1 or 4-1 odds of having a better hand than the rest of the players behind you.  the re raising leads to bigger pots...which leads to bigger bets that are more damaging to the stack of the chronic raiser. and players tend to get stubborn and fight harder for bigger pots. the chronic raiser is suddenly not controlling the table and has to risk a large amount of his stack if not all of it.  sure they can get lucky...but the odds become hard to overcome. once he gets his stack reduced massively..then you can call his pre flop raises when you have something good if you see that having to go all in after the flop doesn't greatly reduce your stack. i've destroyed many dragons using this. it costs you chips....but it is effective and better than letting him dominate the table.
