No poker players journey would be complete without this kind of rant. Get it out of your system and then get back to working out how to improve your game. Theres an old piss take on another forum where the standard response is "move up to where they respect your raises". Its a nod to every players rant about how it would be easier to beat higher stakes. But it really isn't. Better players are mixing in a more appropriate number of bluffs, sizing bets that make it harder for you to defend often enough, check calling some hands, bluffing on boards that hit their range better than yours, etc. So while a drunk micro player might play crazy, it's pretty quick to work out and you can adjust accordingly.
It's also fine to get bluffed sometimes. I remember a while back getting pissed off with a player 3betting the button vs my CO opens and folding a few times when I had the raise/fold part of my range. Then i realised villain was lucky each time that i had the raise/fold part of my range, but my CO range is balance enough to have the right mix of 4bet calls, 4bet folds and raise/calls. Likewise if somebody is mashing pot on every street. If you're calling down with an appropriate frequency and range, you'll come out ahead.
