The thing is, with the all-in bet, the only call you are going to get is the one that already has you dead.  Has he really called double and triple the pot size bets with nothing before this hand?

There is a difference between taking the odds out of a hand and overcomitting to your hand.  A pot size bet takes the odds of most hands to keep playing.  You took the skill out of the hand by going all-in.  You had a read on the player and risked everything on your read.  You guessed wrong this time.

Have you faced many calling stations before?  They take getting use to, especially when they are really hot and catching all the crap they are playing.  I have lost money to them also and watch them give it away in the next hand to someone else at the table.  I look at them as people who help pad the bankroll, not creating one by going all-in against them.

In casino ring games you will find lots of these style players and there are usually more than one at a table.  They are there for the excitement and entertainment value and not there to play serious cards.  You have to play $5/$10 or higher before any people will take it as real poker.  You get Daddy Warbucks who makes 70k a year and wants to play poker but doesn't know how.  What is a couple hundred lost in 2-3 hours playing 2/4 3/6 limit holdem if he had fun and won some hands.
