How do players play against really loose players?  twice tonight in tournaments i raised with very good hands A 10 and 99  and got beat by J 10 both times,I raised it to 4 x the stake so thought that was correct but keep getting called by very mediocre hands. Im happy with my game but not happy with knowing if im raising correctly or not ,your advice would really help .x

    What type of tournaments were they? If they were Bounty Hunters, then people literally call raises with any 2 cards because they think if they hit they can take a bounty.

    In general, against loose players, try to keep the pot small until you hit your hand. Then when you hit your hand. Bet Bet Bet.

    If it is early in  the tournament, say first up to first 3 levels or so I would make my raises bigger than the norm say 5 or 6 times. If they still call you with worse hands I think it's something you have to live with. If your raising  4X at later levels then what you are doing is correct. There is always someone who will call with any 2. I don't see any problem with your play and overall you will win more pots against these loose players than you will lose.

    I came across such a player the other night. He didn't seem to have a fold button so I decided to shove allin  with A 10 off on the button. He called my 1700 chips with 4 2 off and the flop came 3 5 6. Turn was A and river a 10 just to rub salt in the wound. So I i know how you feel.
