Poker How do you play against terrible live players?

    Played a live tourney today with a terrible structure (5000 chips, 15 min doubling blinds).

    It wasn't even poker anymore. It was just a bunch of idiots calling raises with anything and everything. I raised from 400 to 1200 with AK. Two callers. Flop comes 4 6 6. One guy bets 3500 (half his chips) another guy calls him all in. I fold. First guy flips T9o and the caller flips T7o.

    How do you play against such ridiculous behavior? I busted out with KK against an A7o eventually (same T7o idiot too). It's not like I could wait them out with premium hands either because the blinds go up too quickly. It felt like a game of roulette.

    Don't play in these games with such structure. It's right for the idiots like you found but rubbish for the more serious players. I hate that type of game although I like that type of player to be at my table in ring games. Then it's only a matter of time.....
