This is why low LIMIT hold em can be so frustrating. Many players call to the river with the weakest of draws because they can do so for only one bet on each street. That's why it's called no fold em hold em at those limits. You will get sucked out on repeatedly. You will make money off of these players but you need two things to do so.
1) A bankroll that can handle the swings, aka suckouts, for the limits you are playing.
2) Patience. Avoid going on tilt when you get kicked in the junk repeatedly.

If you have a hard time staying off tilt when getting sucked out on 2 or 3 times in a row, like me, take a break. Whether it be an hour break, or the rest of the day, it depends on your own personality. Find what works for you. Another suggestion is switching to NLHE. You can actually make people fold in NL.

My last suggestion is getting a copy of Small Stakes Holdem if you don't have it already. Winnng Low Limit Holdem is a great book, but geared more towards beginning players. Small Stakes is the "bible" of beating low limit hold em. Study it if you want to beat low LIMIT hold em.
