Had some family come over and play Texas Hold’em with us and their kids. It was clear they were too stupid to be intimidated so there was no possibility of bluffing, instead I just folded over and over again until I had two really good cards and then would see me no matter what I bet and ai grew my bankroll that way.

playing poker with the following truly undermines the entire experience:

people that dont understand rules 100%

wagers with no real value (time/money/snacks)

people who dont want to play outright

GTO goes out the window when a drunk guy sits down with a few friends. Either you're gonna grab the pot a few times or bust because the dude went all in with dueces against your KA. he wins a flush on the river.

		Drunk guys are the easisest to play against. You don't need GTO, you can just play exploitatively and adjust your range against his, so that you still have big range advantige preflop. And you can lower variance and decide to not go all-in with AK preflop, but this also depends on how deep the effective stack is in a given situation.

		Sorry but that's just you being blinded by Anna Kournikova - looks great, seldom wins ;) (no offence to any tennis aficionados - it's a Poker thing)
