Re: How to counter the idiot at the table?
If you're that concerned about variance, don't raise with TT preflop. in fact, in lower limit multiway pots i seem to recall sklanksy recommending calling preflop with midpairs in certain circumtances. yes, you have an equity edge preflop that you are giving up, but they are hard to play postflop since most of time u have no set and overcards.
personally, i would never leave a table like that since its pretty ev+. i'd also have folded on the river since calling fish very rarely raise on river with middle pair and others to act.
you also may have unrealistic expectations bout how often you will win
