Now, I KNOW these are the fools who are to pay you off in the long run, but what should I have done in these hands? Should I have played differently or should I just stop playing after these three beats in 15 minutes?

1) Welcome to the forums
2) Of course you played hands 1 and two fine. Be thankful he didn't raise you on the end. Fold preflop in hand 3.
3) Dont post bad beats. And if they put you on tilt, stop playing.

Get used to it.

What are you supposed to do? Thank him for being too stupid to raise the river on all 3 hands.

Seriously - aces are not invincible. Some times you get rivered. Think of how many times lesser hands will beat this type of player when the river doesn't bring him two pair.

Say "Thank you for the Sklansky dollars," and move on to the next hand.

Yeah, this pretty much sums up a negative aspect of limit, but you'll have to deal with it. Just play tight and agressive and in the long run, you'll see the profit.

"Fold preflop in hand 3."

Nah, his preflop 3-bet in hand 3 is fine.

As for the play of the hands..."what they said". As for this part, if you find yourself playing badly after beats like this, then a) yes, you should stop after 3 such beats in 15 minutes, and b) seriously evaluate if you should be playing poker for money.

The correct reaction to these three hands should be, "Sweet, I'm at the right table, bring it on."

That's mighty tight without a rock solid read.

I think it goes beyond fine. Easy 3-bet IMO.

I have read all the responses here and all have commented on your play, but the title of your post is "What Am I Supposed To Do?". Here is my suggestion. Say to yourself 3 times, "these fishy players are the reason I will make money". Then put this guys name on your buddy list and search for him every time you sit down to play so that he will get the opportunity to be a total calling station on as many hands as possible. Put another note in PT if you have it. Have a beer. And finally, ummm, don't forget to PM me with his screen name so I can enjoy his calling station, 6,7o/4,8s/Q,5o tendencies.
