Are some games just not worth it?

I have started laying in a regular game at a bar each week. It is a very loose tournament structure. The blinds go up when people bust out instead of on a time basis. There are usually two or three maniacs at each table, and there are usually two table with 6-8 people per table.

I've been playing hold'em about a year, and I know I don't think I totally suck because I used to play at another game with time structured blinds and better players (like ones that might actually fold a hand occassionally and not go over the top of any raise regardless of what they have). At this game I regularly came out ahead over the course of a month (ahead period, I never had to re-invest my initial buy-in, but there would be bad weeks here and there).

I went to this new game while my other game was on hiatus for the summer, but these guys are killing me. Unless I get primo cards that hold up at every point of the board, I just can't beat them. No betting or raising ever seems to work. There will always be one player who sticks around with a J8 off-suit or a 10 3 of diamonds to suck out on my trip queens. You get the point.

Is this game just not worth playing? I know in the long haul I should beat them, but with the tournament structure, and the high concentration of maniacs it seems like even if I consistently outplay one of them there is always another who gets lucky against me. It irks me to think I cn't beat them, but I'm about ready to give up. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
