Does anyone have any general tips on how to play when you are getting re-raised alot.

I was playing at Full Tilt with pretty good success at the, don't laugh, 10-25 cent tables (I play with-in my budget). I try to have a pretty tight table image, my winning percentage at showdown is 65% and even when I lose my plays are mathematically correct.

When I was doing well, I was picking up lots of pots pre-flop or on the flop. In late position I was raising 4x - 5x the big blind with big Pocket Pairs and AJ, AQ, KQs type hands. Occasionally, I will mix in suited middle connectors or suited 1-2 card gappers. Even when I missed with them a continuation bet was picking up the pot.

I tried to only play premium hands for a raise, from middle or early position, making post flop decisions easier; playing medium and small pocket pairs on the cheap.

Then bad stuff started to happen, for example, in a pot with a limper and the blinds, I would raise 4x with something like AJs, making the pot $1.60, then get re-raised to $3.

This started happening over and over again. Some players just started re-raising me for half or 3/4 of my chip stack any time I raised a pot with my standard 4x-5x raise.

Without a premium PP I had very difficult decision if I wanted to see a flop with AQ, AJ or AT for half my chips. Limping and hoping not to get raised with AQ, might work but backfired when I hit top pair and some other limper flopped something funky.

Nothing is more annoying then having one of these constant re-raisers take you for a big pot because you didn't raise and they limped with Q4s and hit two-pair.

Anyone have and constructive ideas?

Keep raising the reasonable hands and folding to too much pressure that your hand can't really stand.

You might just be running into a lot of good hands, but if you start to sense a pattern from specific players of running you off hands, stick it in there if you think you're ahead. There are a lot of players that will notice that you fold to re-raise pressure and take advantage of that. Don't let them.

I agree with naismith. But sometimes you just keep running into big hands. Recently, i was playing 3 handed in a live sng with someone, and i had a nearly perfect read on him. Well, 8 of 9 hands i read him for top pair or better, 3 times i had middle pair top kicker, and laid it down. finally with middle pair heads up i could take it no more and pushed. He had top pair again! i lost. Same thing happened yesterday in an online tourney. If you see the same person/ group of people/ what seem to be the better players raising your raise consistently, you must make a stand and fight back or you will lose money and they will own you. you cant let that happen. Sometimes fate can be sadistic and they will have that high pair, but overall a consistently timid player in these situations IS a losing player.

If you're representing a tight image, I'd be wary of the re-raise. It's most likely strength. On the other hand, the players could be getting tired of you picking up all the pots, and our now playing back at you with sub-premium hands to see how you react.
