Thinking player that always loses in his home games. (1 Viewer)

Lots of good responses here I'll just reinforce reword.

Youre home game sample size is miniscule. Do not focus on results. Focus on evaluating your decisions from a mathematical or theoretical pov. For example, "If I raise A7o UTG in a 7 handed game, am I making money in the long run?" " If I cold call 3 and 4 bets, am I making money?"

Adjust you online game to your live game heavily. Even .02/.05 will play "better" than most home games I've played.

DO NOT become your opponents, think how to exploit them
They call too much- Eliminate the bluffing portion of your range.
They are inelastic to bet sizing- value bet big and bluff smaller
They bluff/ stab with weak hands too much- check/call more of you moderate-strong hands
They have fancy play syndrome, slow playing monsters- let them, they are losing value.
They think they are good at poker because they are winning- for gods sake don't correct them

With only 220 starting hands, a range chart of playable hands / break even / + EV hands, terms like MDF, SPR, implied odds, and so many backpackers with hoodies and headphones. I just don't see the appeal of Texas hold'em. The game was meant to be played with your net worth or at least a percentage of your net worth. At this point it really feels like there is no magic, the game has been solved, I'd sooner play go fish.

Serious question, why not play something that is more challenging, something that hasn't been solved?

Splashy, multiway games have not by any stretch of the imagination been solved.
