Poker theory question

You are at a table with position on a huge fish (you don't want to leave, don't quibble with this part of the question). cts sits down and starts to shit over everyone. What is the best way to play him? Should you just let him shit on you and take all the small pots while concentrating on beating up on the fish or should you go to war with him so he doesn't mess around with you but leave yourself open to be outplayed in big pots?

leave the table

keep isolating fish, but with a tighter range of hands.
playing back at cts whos got more experience as you with that kinda stuff is -ev

nah, keep isoing the fish and push light over CTS's 3-bets cause even though you'll get the worst of it by a bit he'll probably play more honest vs you if you seem like a huge spewtard, thus you can keep beating up the fish and you'll probably win more ev of that then the ev you lose of pushing AJs over CTS's 3-bets.

Forget about the fish and start trying to outplay cts. Hes probably making a video.

close your eyes

hope he doesn't see you.

depends how many players there are at the table. If it was 3 handed i would just immediately leave (unless i feel like playing someone far superior to me)

if it was 6 max i would only leave if he was sitting to my direct left. but even then It's a 50/50 whether i leave or not. If it's 7 or more It's an easy stay with even one unreal fish as cts won't be able to profitablly "go after you" unless he was to your left and even then it's hard since there's so many other players to worry about as well.

oh and if i'm up massively that session i'll probably stay regardless of the situation and try to outplay him cuz it's fun as hell
