Uncontrolled Play

In the last few days I've begun to notice a disturbing trend in free games. I find a good game where the players are playing tight games and making good decisions, it's like they are trying to play poker. After a while the table seems to get taken over by players who seem to be playing a very uncontrolled game. They are betting the max every hand, raising regardless of their cards and ending up at the river with nothing better than a 10.
Now you might say "big deal it's just play money it doesn't matter." Well on one hand your right and it doesn't matter but on the other hand it does matter.
This type uncontrolled play not only affects their game play, but everyone else around them. I shouldn't be able to win a large pot with a low pair, but it's happened on more than one occasion and that makes me a sloppy player.

I left the no limit tables because of this style of play and now it seems that these players have followed me to the limit tables. Now I know there isn't much I can do about this. I end up leaving the table in search of another but it's unfortunate that a few players that don't seem to care about playing a good game of poker can wreck a good table.

That's all, I fold.
