Poker, any tips on how to beat a wild game?
I have a weekly poker game that I go to and the play is mostly very wild in nature. People just play any 2 cards and then either bluff or get lucky and hit some crazy hand. Are there any specific places on line or perhaps books I can read to learn how to deal with this?

- Doyle talked about this briefly in Super Systems, and it's very simple. When playing very bad players who will call with just about anything, just 'play it straight.' In other words, wait for good cards, then bet hard when you hit something, and check or fold when you don't. They're not thinking about what they're doing, so trying to make plays at at them won't help you at all. If you wait for good cards, you're automatically creating a statistical advantage, and will crush them in the long run. And you only need to start making plays once they figure out what you're doing and stop calling you.
- I'll agree with Matt and add that peoples reckless play is quite ignorant and they have no business at a poker table.
- Wild table = you play tight solid Under normal circumstances you want to be the aggressor, but sometimes its impossible to out aggress certain players so you just have sit back and wait for your spots. Unless your a gambler... then you can just gamble it up with them. Keep an eye on your odds and whatever happens make sure your not playing too bad mathematically even though you might be playing bigger pots than is comfortable.
