Check out these hands.
I'm playing some ultra low limit because I havn't played cash no limit for a while.

A good education is expensive but ignorance costs more.

Frustrating isn't it? They SHOULD lose a lot more than they do but some poker god has a twisted sense of humor when it comes to playing these fish. At least in the long run and acording to the books, they are supposed to be losing!!

At least your playing No Limit - try increasing your opening pf bets to 5 - 10x BB and see if that doesnt start to weed out their garbage hands. Value bet continuously and raise to make them pay for the chase. Most of these chasers do not understand pot odds or poor calling situations and will chase miricle cards to the river way too often - make them pay so that when you do win, they compensate for the times they suck you out. Oh, and put a pillow on the wall to protect your head when they do pull off that 22:1 shot at trip treys.
