Problem is that the table will drastically change to loose when one or two of these guys come to the table and increase the size of the pots.

Waiting for monster hands just totally screws up my game. I don't know how to play like that. Even premium cards miss flops and get outdrawn. How many flops do I pay to see to get monster hands?

I think maybe my bluffs aren't big enough to scare looser players. Or maybe I shouldn't bluff at all against them. Or maybe I should just change tables.

It's just so annoying because they're really pretty bad. They never fear getting outkicked and I can never tell if they're just calling with low pair, a draw, overcards, or a monster.

Against a good loose player, I don't have much of a problem. I can still bluff because he will read me as being tight. He knows what a scare card is.

Advice would be appreciated.
The key word in all of this is BLUFF!!!! You cannot, I repeat CANNOT bluff a beginner because he doesn't know what is happening.. Here is a word of advice that might save you some money. Pick your spots better to bluff. Bluff at the tight players and the good ones (in the appropriate time) because they know when to lay it down.

And by the way, no matter how much you bet into the donks, if they decide to call they will call you down. Dont waste your money on them.
