Multi Table cash game players...
Hi, on the poker site i used to play on, i'd play 2 .25/.50 cash game tables. However the site had a 'buddy list' feature, which I used to track the players id like to play against.I also used it to look at what type/kind of games my opponents were playing whilst playing against me. I found many players play up to 10 cash tables at once(6 handed). This confused me as one particular opponent always played multiple cash tables, which when i opened them up, he was above the max buy in on every single one. Surely playing against 54 different opponents at the same time and 10 different sets of hole cards, and following 10 different flops, this player must be playing like a robot? playing only premium hands yet still managing to get paid. Just wondering if anyone has tips to win against this type of player, for example if you hold QQ on a T 6 2 flop, having called his raise pre and bet out, if he raises, ur almost sure that he has aa or kk? because he doesnt play anything else.... His range of hands playing so many tables is so small, so hands like 67 suited, TJ suited, ace jack, ace ten are foled by him pre flop.
To try and combat this, I have started to call in position with all the suited connecters, knowing that he is going to continue betting out on the flop 99% of the time. The problem is, as you would expect from a player playing 10 tables, even if i flop a straight draw or a flush draw with my connecting cards, the guy bets out so strongly that he is denying me odds to call to hit my draw. I find myself playing/feeling like a calling station to try and crack his strong hands which obviously, more often than not, is not going to happen. On the few occasions that I have called and hit on the turn, any sign of danger and the guy slows down, especially if i have made a play and raised him with a draw in position leaving me the opportunity to hit, or even show strength again on the turn with 7 / 8 high and a draw. So he denies me odds on the flop, and when i hit, i often dont get any money from him on later streets.
Shall I just avoid this guy? haha the more i think about it, the more that seems a good idea!
Cheerz, JJ

Table selection is important and if you think a certain player is better than you then dont play against them. If you see some weaker players and this multi-table monster on the same table then sit with direct position on the weak players and dont get involved with marginal hands against the villain so they cant outplay you.
