What is the best way to beat high variance games?

I'm in OK and play on the Indian reservations casinos. It's nothing big they have 1/2 and 2/5 NL full ring games regularly. Every table, regardless the limit, usually gets 3k bets on the table, if not more. Every player there is deep and usually just shift chips around the table. There are a few thinking players and can be spotted a mile away due to the lack of skill exhibited by most players.

My question is how to deal with people's willingness to draw to gutshots, etc. I know every time a player makes a mistake, you make money. But what happens when allot of people make mistakes. (Annother unfotunate biproduct of this is the hands/hr go the [censored].)

I know the most obvious answer is to wait until you have the bleeding nuts and ship their deep pockets back to mum, but do you loose value doing this? Is it equitable to play crap hands IP and marginal ones in MP? Or should I ratchet down and wait for the preteen time to pounce? The major issue I have with each play is in the first, obv., I'm loosing bets and in the second, I loose action due to table image. I know shifting gears IAW the players sounds like the best idea here, but to these players, one is either “one of them” or “the guy to avoid”. Also, there are the players who make a "standard" bet of 10 bets about every hand, for no good reason. Any advise on how to handle these tards.

Also, what is the ideal way to manage one’s bankroll in this situation? Should it be standard or rolled up or down?


Thaughts?

Didn't bother reading past "1/2 and 2/5 NL" because live 1/2 and 2/5 games are probably the lowest variance poker games in existence right now, so if you're losing it's fairly likely you just suck.

Further ado...

Steamroll with the whatisname Kelly criteria and you'll be ok.

It's all good, Mickey. Play on.

tables where many people make mistakes are impossible to beat due to the two wrongs make a right axiom of poker

I've been beating the game. However, I wanted other peoples takes on it.

As for 1/2 and 2/5 being a low variance game, you can only speak from your experiance. Don't assume all games are colenear with your own game.
