Defending Blinds or Against Aggressive Players

There are some situations in which you are getting nothing but trap hands, and you are at the mercy of the cards.

It probably happens to everyone now and then.

My experience with losing streaks (I have posted some controversial entries concerning this, and been held up to

this is a cash game, correct?

no reason to look to play anything more......... and if there are more than 1 person other person in hand when it gets to your blind, they aren't even stealing the blind....

look to come over the top of a raiser with a really super hand. perhaps come over the top of a chronic late position stealer with a top 25% hand (but even if you don't want to, that's fine too)..

people running you over in a tournament with rapidly escalating and large blinds is another story.

I wasn't clear enough in the original post, evidently. I developed a WEAK-TIGHT image, meaning that people were betting/raising with impunity with blind steals or on the flop since I was folding basically nearly all of the time. In other words, they weren't fearing any bet or raise from me. Can't say I blame them, considering how few hands I was actually winning.

On the few good hands I got, I raised pre-flop, but they were not running for cover at all, and there would be multiple cold-calls. I just had horrible flops (ie JJ on a flop of AQ3 which 4 callers) and had to fold since they would be calling down anyways and they were chronic A-rag players. Another time I got a set cracked after capped flop betting when I had 44, flop was 46Q rainbow, turn T, river 7 where the Big Blind shows up with 3-5 for a straight. I understand that had I actually started to catch cards which held up, this could have been very lucrative since they were basically willing to pay off anything. But I never seemed to have the hand available to exploit that. Bluffing would have been pointless, because they were not folding to anything anyways.

I have no doubt, that had I stayed at the table for 2-3 more hours, things would have evened out once I started to catch some cards and hit some flops. But it didn't happen throughout the time I was in the game, and I had to quit to go to bed before the cards turned.

My original question was due to the fact that it basically seemed like a hopeless waiting game while I was in it, and I know there are probably others who have and use tactics to 'change up' your image. Just wondering what some of the possible tactics were.
