I am running into a situation over and over where I am at a table and there is one, sometimes two calling stations with VP's of 40,50,60 or even higher who limp into every almost every pot, call every raise and then hit monsters on the flop over and over. By limping into every pot they distort the ability to steal blinds and make playing Premium pockets less profitable when the flat call raises and invite lots of callers. (Nothing like raising 3-4 BB UTG with AK or QQ or JJ and getting 4 callers. I ran into a hand where a guy over 100 hands with stats 70/5 called me down to the river with Aces- Never raised once, not preflop or on any street. I had KK on the button and both blinds called, SB with Ace Rag, BB with AQ and of course the flop is AQx. I re-raised a short stacked 35/5 guy with AK suited and he called off his whole stack with A8o and of course hits the 8 on the flop and doubles up. The variance is killing me and what's worse I can play perfect poker for 2 - 3 hours and lose all my session profit because someone decided to call 3 bets OOP with a junk ace and kill my KK or QQ. Any advice for dealing with these guys?
