The MLB Decades Draft : CHAT

Question: I play online on a poker app with friends in a weekly poker game. Not just overly bragging but I used to play a lot online back in the day and also in live casinos for a time. All low limit stuff but just giving previous play to show I have a lot of experience.

We play very low limits, $20 buy-in cash game(Rebuy/top up at any time) with a .10/.20 blinds. The problem is we have 11 players who are regulars in the game. Of the 11 there are maybe only 2 others I would say are good players. We’ve played 12 weeks in a row now and I’m by far the winningest player in the game. There are only 4 of the 11 who are overall in the positive and I have as much profit as the 2nd and 3rd players combined. Some players are getting a bit better but there’s still a large gap between me and them.

I feel like a ringer in the game even though it’s only with friends. It’s like forced betting in golf where everyone is a double digit handicap playing with a scratch golfer. Should I sit out a few weeks and just let everyone else play or do I just keep doing what I’m doing? I’m also not being a total asshole either just trying to rack up massive wins. My wins are all relatively moderate. Of the top 10 most profitable sessions, I have just 1 of them.

Thoughts?

It's poker, why sit out? If I was one of the shittier players I would work on my game to beat you, you aren't forcing them to play and you aren't forcing them to not work on their game. As long as you aren't being a dick about it which i'm sure you're not keep playing and keep winning!

Right and the other players obviously know you are the best...some people never get better at poker but why aren't they improving? You shouldn't feel bad for simply being a better player, if they don't say anything and are fine with it...it all seems good. I would think it is harder to bluff online...in person always seem more challenging imo.
