The player who won't stop talking about his bad beats plays too many hands and expects to win with top pair every time. He doesn't adjust. He just complains.

Why they do it

You know this guy. He's been "running bad" for three years straight. The truth is he's calling too wide, value-owning himself constantly, and blaming the deck instead of his decisions.

The adjustment

Don't bluff him - he calls out of frustration. Just value bet him relentlessly and let him pay you off while he tells everyone about the river card that killed him last Tuesday.

What it's worth

This is where you make your session against this type. He's handing it to you. Just don't overthink it.
