Default Playing against players that like to \"Gamble it up\"

Any thoughts on playing against players who like to "Gamble it up". No specific examples, we've all seen it, and I just read about it in Sklansky's Theory of Poker.

Strategies?

I would think being patient and waiting for a good/great hand is the best way. Bluffing is useless, so slowly extracting chips with made hands would be my approach.

It depends what style they are playing. Some LAGs gamble it up. Some LPPs gamble it up. I suppose the important characteristic of a player willing to gamble it up is that he/she is loose. You would want to see more showdowns against a player like this.
