For the ginders out there, how long is too long to be at a table for a beginner. I was at the most fish table ever where about 6 or 7 of the 9 people seated could be classified as fish. Table VPIP was around 40s nearly the entire time I was there. The fish also had huge stacks, the two biggest maniacs (VPIP of 50 and 80) having stacks of $4 and $6 at 2nl, pretty much a dream.
Unfortunately, I was card dead and was folding pretty much every hand. I was getting crap like 53o, 27o. The only time I got KK, I only got minimum value with. I finally was able to raise on the button with 55 to see a KKA flop. I hit a 5 on the turn and knew I was ahead. I thought this was my big pot I had a huge hand against two big stacks who were bad, loose players. Too bad an Ace came on the river and knowing I was probably beat, I think I mentally told myself I had to still call villain's shove, basically having my full house lose to 2 fish playing with K rag.
I believe this was a simple bad beat for me although I might have benefited betting bigger or shoving on the turn but I was wondering how should people manage their time on the tables. A lot of people would say they would stay until there is no money to be made on the table and there was alot of money to be made here with the fish. However, I did not get any cards to play for over 70 hands and it started to feel like I should just switch tables.
