I play cash games. Today.. and well, every single day I see a deep stacked maniac fish winning every hand etc etc. You know the story. Basically taking my pennies (playing 2 cent NL) Like im not even trying to win.
I know these fishy players are on short running hot streaks and thats proven when as you start to build up a player database the only players you ever come across again are the more balanced players.. Never the fish, because they are long gone.
However! From our perspective as a player we essentially deal with this same player day in day out. Not the same actual person.. but as far as we are concerned it is that one player taking us apart every day.
I try to keep cool and leave tables when the fish is beating me because I think personally it helps with any underlying tilt, as every time he steals the pot with some awful hand you can almost imagine them thinking they are great at poker and have the game totally sussed out.. causing quite a bit of frustration. But you just meet the same player type on another table.
How do you guys avoid this frustration? The micros is always full of these players.. they are the players we look for but also the players that seem to burn us the most.
