I played 2-10 spread at my local casino the other night and when me and my friend sat down there were two overly aggressive players sitting to our right. They would raise and re-raise 10 dollars on a naked ace before and after the flop. Average pot size was probably 60 dollars, which is how much I sat down with. I got lucky and found kj right away a made top pair with it and won a big pot. anyways, my friend did not fair as well, he ended up losing $160.
So I want to know how you play at an insanely aggressive table like this? Do you just have to wait for a good hand?

Wait till you get a premium hand and make them pay.
Or.... if you can see a cheap and/or multiway flop play some suited-connectors in hoping to bust them good.

Raise 1st.
If you dont do it too often, they will likely lay down a weak Ace.
It they are decent players and you have a tight table image, even a $5 raise might be enough to get them to lay down.
BTW-if they are locals and know eachother well, they could very well be working you guys. 3-4 players limp for $2, then need to call $20 more to see a flop. They can make some decent coin by stealing those limps-then split the cash later.
Johnnyboy played that game a bit in MN. He said that "locals" would sit down, raise raise raise for 20 minutes, then they would leave once people caught on. But $50-100 in a few hands and they are doing OK.

Now that I think about it, the too aggressors did leave at the same time. However, I wasn't too mad about it, cuz I made out ok. I wish I could say the same for my friend tho.
btw, I am from minnesota too. I live in Duluth right now, but Grand Casino Hinckly is my home casino.
