I cant beat this one fish to save my life

[octop]

There is this one guy who plays 60% of his hands and raises mabe 25% of them. He calls draws with no odds, wont make a laydown for anything and is constantly losing except to me.
This is really pissing m e off. He is constantly overbetter pots. When I reraise with a monster he folds.When I reraise with a shitty overpair like 10 10 he calls with aces .He calls all my bluffs and folds when I have a monster. I finally had him when I flopped a set of queens but he rivered quad fours!This is in a 2/4 NL game (400 max) I swear he must be up 4 grand on me but he loses overall. I beat the hell out of this game but I can not stop him from taking my chips. Please help me Im going nuts.

There's your problem. The dealer doesn't have enough cards to go around to 400 people.

Why do you keep playing with this dude? If he makes you play worse, for whatever reason, just find another table.

Online poker is rigged, what are ya, a n00b?

If you're beating the hell out of the game, and he is such a fish, the chips he takes from you end up in someone else's stack, and then ultimately find their way back to your stack. What goes around comes around.

It is possible that you are experiencing selective memmory. But like the other poster said, you eventually get the chips back anyway. I am going to point out that you are focusing too much on the short term and this is with out a doubt a results oreinted post.

As long as you continue to get your money in with the best of it, He can't beat you forever, it is a mathmatical impossibility.

I get this problem too, sometimes. Either a) this player is better than you think, or b) luck is not on your side and you always get into tangles with him.

If you are otherwise beating this game, then simply avoid this player. Don't try to beat him; it'll be the worst thing for you.

Absolutely. Good table selection skills is one of the best ways to turn -EV into +EV

[TomCollins]

Methinks he isn't the fish and you are. LAGs abuse players like you.

If your objective is to make $, then just run from this guy; he's destroying your objective regardless of how bad you think he plays.
