Re: Playing Well against Rookies
Since that last post probably wasn't too helpful, I thought I'd add this piece of advice:
These sorts of new/casual players are usually the easiest to read. They hardly ever bluff, they fold their worst hands, call medium hands, and raise good hands. The bigger the raise, the bigger the hand. If they think you can play pretty well, they will play quite passively. Don't make the mistake of assuming that a caller is beaten. These guys will call you down with top two and such. Just try to play pure value poker. Try to play small pots and don't call huge bets without a read. So what if he bluffed you one time? You'll get him the next one.
