Bad Poker Players

I don’t understand why I can’t make more money playing against bad players.  Some guy just sucked out 2 times with runner runner to make his flush on the river. The first time he was playing 9 3 clubs the second time he was playing J 4 hearts, both times he catches one on the flop then his runner runner.  The third time he misses on the river and I get about a third of my money back and he goes off about how *lucky I am* and how I play to the river with anything.

I had top pair on the flop with a good kicker.  I have folded the last 30 hands straight, and not played a single hand with these crazies unless I have something that I can play to the river and win with.  This guy caps it pre-flop and after the flop with a pocket pair of 3’s.  no straight possibility, Queen and Ace on the board and he is raising away like mad with an under pair.  

I am down $30 bucks on this table in about 5 minutes and now I am only playing premium hands since it can take 15 to 20 big bets to get to the river.  

It just seems that as bad as these guys are and as willing as they are to bet with anything, I should be making more money.  

Part of my problem is I am way too eager to bluff, or bet with big cards on the board when I know they don’t have anything.  But when they will call you down with Jack high, what can you do.  You have to wait for cards and if you don’t hit some big pocket cards then you will lose money playing these guys it’s just that simple.

One of them is down to $3 now so they will be gone soon, and then the others will leave before I have a chance to hit any enough big hands against them to get any of my money back.  This can really get annoying sometimes.
