This from the guy who spiked his bluff on me, undoing my whole night's patient winnings and turning me into a hothead.

What you're describing is called "implicit collusion". In a nutshell, this means 3 people making bad calls is equivalent (in terms of effect on your profit) to 1 person making good calls.

So if you're sitting with 9 fish you get
-about the same profit as you would versus 3 good players
-pissed off, because instead of getting outplayed you're constantly getting outsucked.

What you want is overall good players, with 1 or 2 fish. If someone at the table is quite a bit better than you, you need to know who it is and stay out of hisher way. This is why people move up in limits when they can afford to.
