I occasionally have a game/attend a game which plays pretty soft. Without trying to toot my own horn, I’m probably the only one who has a more than basic understanding of solid strategy since I play online (not saying I’m any good though). Most people play super loose and will bet/call down whenever they get the smallest piece of the board but we’ve recently been adding more players who have an idea of what to do. Additionally, there is one player who after 45 min just goes completely berserk and will start shoving after the flop and turn whenever he has some piece of it. Obviously this is a terrible losing strategy, but I also find it takes a lot of skill out of the game, increases variance and basically forces you to wait until you hit a solid hand to call him down which is kind of boring in my opinion.
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this with a regular at their game and how/if they did something about it. Am I being a baby about receiving the precious gift of someone who is practically giving away their money or is my greivance warranted and should I maybe consider seeking out more skilled players to play with?
