Hi - I love this site. It will take a long time to peruse all the info here.

My question is, how should I play a table of real beginners with no experience? These are generally intelligent people that know very little about poker. They'll need a poker-hand chart to know how their hands rank. Some have watched poker on tv but not with an intent to play themselves.

I would also describe myself as a beginner, but I probably have a much better understanding of poker than they do. My first poker chip set will arrive in a few days and I'm just getting a handle on the order of play, blinds, betting rounds, etc. I have gotten my friends interested and my first game (NLH with $10-$20 buy-in) will happen shortly. I also plan on playing in a free weekly game at a local bar. They play 3 days per week and it should be good experience.

My idea is that the overall poker strategy and betting strategy that one would employ against semi-experienced players won't be of any use against players with no knowledge of poker concepts.

Thanks
