I thought the live games that I play at were bad..

"How do you adjust your strategy against players who play bad without risking your chips? Waiting for the nuts will cost me money"

- Think of how rare holding the nuts is. Ok it isn't THAT rare but you certainly can't camp on them, that's for sure. Just make a quality hand and bet it hard. If you make a set and an opponent calls a potsized bet on the flop and turn and hits a backdoor flush, that kinda ish happens. As long as you are playing within your bankroll and making quality choices (+EV choices), thats all you can do. Be happy you are playing against poor players and not sharks.
