These players are, unfortunately, pretty commonplace in the poker world. They do seem to more and more frequent but if you keep shoving with your big cards and keep getting called with junk, you will win more and more in the long run so hang in there

Yeah, frustrates me too very often... and it's even more frustrating when people say that it's very profitable to have such players when you're losing because of them, not meant negative to doubletop777 because it can be very profitable sometimes when you recognize them. And that takes a while

Well mate just take it into stride it happens all the time and the best way to milk money out of them is to play tight and get reads ion them, they might get a few pennies but if you got a solid read afterwards you will make them donate their money to you. So try to adjust and play a lot and this thing will be just a common thing and will not affect you! And you will make money!

^^ This.
Seriously if you can't beat the bad players then what chance do you have against the mediocre ones. And don't even think about sitting down with good players.
You can eventually figure them out. But I had it happen again. Playing $5 /10 I had a good day and was up $120 in an hour and was sitting with $ 60 when I sat down. So I was dealt KK and raised to 80. Player calls. Flop comes KA3 rainbow. Player checks and I raise all in. Player calls and cards are shown in have trips and he call with a 23. The next turn and river came 3 3.giving him 4 of a kind.

It's the curse of online poker. In a live game nobody would make that call but in online he doesn't have to look at you or speak to you after he sucks out.

That actually makes sense and makes me feel a little better about some of the suck outs I have that no normal decent player would do.
