You should NEVER, EVER leave a game with this type of player IMO. You are costing yourself alot of money if you do.

Look at it this way.. say the pots are inflating to 4x the size they would typically be at this level. That simply means you need to win 1/4th as often as you typically do to maintain approximately the same earn.

I know how tempting it is to want to get into as many hands as possible with the moron because you know you can outplay him. The better option is rock solid hand selection and fast play pre-flop. Raise and Re-raise, get as much money as possible in when you know you have the best hand with a big PP.

In games like this you need to be weary of your position. Play more hands when you have the CO or button, and less in EP and MP. You can call a pre-flop raise with a wide range on the button, because if you hit the flop hard you have massive implied odds against multiple opponents plus a wealth of information to use to make your decisions.

Don't try to get fancy on the flop. TP & TPTK are marginal against mulitple opponents. You either want a big draw (ie nut flush + overcards, OE straight + flush), a set , or two pair to go past the flop. Remember the old saying, don't get involved in a big pot without a big hand.
