I played my normal game yesterday during the day, 1/3 at a solid Vegas card room with mostly level 1 players and the occasional fish. The regs respect each other and we generally just try to clean out the fish and take our money home. I do well at this game, actually running very well this month way above normal. I put in my 4 hours or so and cashed out +450. Good session, lost two hands at the end to two fish, one who rivered quads to my boat and the other rivered a straight flush but somehow only cost me 150$ combined due to their horrible bet sizing on all streets.

Later that night, I decide to pop into a small room that's not known for poker. It's 1/2 with 2 games going. I sit down and get QQ and get sucked out on by T4 who hit a pair of fours on the flop and rivered another 4. Hmm, odd. I was betting very strong as it was a 9 high board.

Well, the next two hours proceeds like this. The fish are calling almost ATC all the way down. Minraising with AA and check calling or betting 5-10$ per street with the absolute monsters. I lost boat to boat when I turned it and he had AA and rivered an A. He bet 5$ OTF and 10$ OTT. Then called a 50$ raise and spiked his A OTR. I come to find out it was his 2nd time playing live.

Now this is not a BBV thread, so the question is, have you ever encountered a table that is so bad that you simply can't play? Is there such a thing as too fishy of a game?

It looks like it is... but to answer your question... No. Bankroll management is your friend.

No, there is not such a thing. Very bad players are extremely profitable to play against, but it is high variance, as their ranges are so wide that you will sometimes end up value owning yourself. Ride the variance train to value town.

For how to adjust to such a table, please use the search forum. There are several good threads on it in this forum.
