Bad Players = Hard to Beat????

[XxGeneralxX]

Me and all of my buddies have about 3 home game SNG's a week. We have been doing this for a few years now so everyone thinks they are pretty good. Constant banter after hands critiquing every mis-play and so on

The other day we invited a new player to the game. He played very LOOSE PASSIVE and was winning lots of pots. Limping in with 2 gappers UTG etc. He goes on to win the SNG and leaves my house and words begin to fly. "Im never playing with him again" one of our regulars said. Me and my brother asked him why and he responded "He is terrible, I cant play with irrational people like that, you cant win against them"

I found this to be quite interesting. Why does someone feel that playing against bad and irrational players gives them less of a chance to be the winner? What does everyone on 2+2 feel about these players who insist that playing against better players gives them a better chance of winning
