Okay, so my buddies and I gather round a table every Tuesday and play a game of Texas Hold'em poker. Each person puts in $5.oo, and blinds are 5 cents and 10 cents.

It's limited betting: the max you can bet is 50 cents.

My friends, like me, are novice players, but unlike me are not conservative players; nine times out of ten, even if you put in an unreasonable amount of money to bluff, they will almost always call "just to see what you have."

They also are all wild betters and will bet even if they have nothing. Since they always do this you can never tell if they have something or not.

What do you do in this case? Do you really only play if you have something? That works well to keep you from losing all your money, but it also won't win you much, and it means nine times out of ten you will fold.

Any advice?
