In Yahoo Poker, what is the best strategy when other players always raise aggresively?

This is the nature of no limit poker. Sudden large raises quickly draw out "tells" from less experienced players.
Given that Yahoo Poker is played online, and the psychological aspect is less important, the agressive raise is probably a calculated risk given the quality of cards that the computer player has.
So your strategy is simple… if you have a strong statistical hand, then counter raise, if you don’t you should likely fold if there isn’t too much on the table, and if the computer player has a record of playing pretty "tight".

In limit hold’em, wait for premium hands like AA, KK, AK, QQ in middle and late position and reraise them. In free games like yahoo it is very unlikely to get someone to fold pre-fold once they are in the pot. Make them pay for that. After the flop, continue to be agressive unless there is an threat (flush draw or straight draw, pairs) on the board.
