I spend the first part of the session sitting and watching what he limps with and how he bets with TP and I wait for a hand knowing that if I can get even TPTK I can get a nice pot with this guy.
So I wait...and wait...and wait.....nothing happening...

I sat my whole session and my cards were terrible. If I got decent cards, I never hit a flop. If I did get something like pocket Q's, he wouldn't hit anything....
In fact the whole session was bad for cards. I had this guy figured out and I think I was able to play a total of 2 pots against him...
Sadly, this is a common, reoccurring problem. You find out your villain's weakness and never get a chance to exploit it and worse yet, you'll see another villain catch a hand to exploit it, bust the fish, and the fish leaves. I remember recently staying on one table JUST because of one fish and stayed there for what seemed like over 200 hands and could never get anything and it wasn't like I needed much

It can be particularly frustrating in live games for me when the entire table is often fishy and I still can't find an opening.
