your strategy with beginners at a home game

[jack0316]

they are impossible to read! impossible to bluff, trick etc

i usually just have to play like they do, completely straightforwardly

wanted to hear your views

the people i have been playing with no nothing of poker but simply what hands are what (2 pair, straight, etc.) and they have no strategy and call just about anything. I stick to a strategy myself because from my experience, you cant bluff someone that doesn't know what a bluff is. How big are the stakes you are playing? Id say pick a goal and stick with it the entire game.

find out which of them are the stations who call down or chase long shot draws. dont bluff them and value bet them

most of them will call with bottom pair, call with top pair, call with a draw, and even call with air so when they raise proceed with caution

notice how they play big hands preflop. a lot of the beginners in my home game will min 3bet to "lure" in others. be sure to toss away hands with bad reverse implied odds (KJ) and cheeringly call with hands with good implied odds (PPs/SCs)

as always, play in position and you can't go too wrong against beginners.

no, they're like super easy to read
I've made over a hundred in my local home game with $5 buyins
sometimes making 8 buy-ins in a night

There's no reason for you to get fancy, just vbet your hands since most of them are stations. If you find some that are super weak and don't call unless they hit a tp, then you can go after those guys too. As long as you play fundamentally sound poker, you should be fine. Just don't play like a big nit or they might not invite you back.

noooooo please ask this member coolest and awesome member

Lagg has you crushed unless he's a total maniac. Thinking LAggs have like QQ+/AK here always and you can even discount the Queens. They do all that retarded shit so you think AK/AQ/JJ/TT is ever good here.

Fold pre-flop as much as it sucks to wait another half hour for a playable spot for a lot of money. If you're stuck, then just re-raise to $80 and avoid holding up the game.

The flop check is so bad that my head just asssploded. Please give more free cards with one pair and half a buy-in in the pot.

Tell your cardroom to stop running 10 handed tables too.

some are hard to read cause they don't know what the heck they're doing! they don't know if they have a monster or air half the time, so how can you read them? gotta play straightforward against these.
tip: I laid out a couple of those cards you get in a new deck that have the list of hands on them - LMAO - guys were looking at 'em during the hand! *let's see here, yeah I guess I do have a full house, hmm, that's pretty far down on the list, guess that's good*

have a beer, have a cigar, have some fun, and dont worry about beating a few beginners in a home game.

Play tight as shit and raise a shitload when you're dominating their range. Preflop and postflop.

depends on whether they raise
if they don't raise, then limp with everyone else

Why don't you try to read their faces, i think it's a simple as that

[bjsaust]

I prefer to see plenty of flops and work things out postflop. Isolation raises wont work.
