Default Re: Playing no limit w/ amateurs

Al's reply pretty much sums it.

I played in such a game once. Was a 6 handed 25c/50c NLHE game whit everyone starting at 100$. It was my 1st game whit those guys and I was shoked to see 2x200$ rebuys in the 1st orbit! We reached 1800$ on the table. Was incredible... They were calling and chasing whit undercards in hope to hit a pair...

One thing I regret though in that clueless crowded game was to ever fold preflop. One player (the deeper pockets and worst player) was there to gamble and was taking offense that I was moron enought to fold before even seeing the 3 first cards. (I was already playing extremmely loose. suited 2-gaper were good enough to call a raise for me) But instead of just limping all hands and then take a decision on the flop, I pointed out to him the "first 3cards" were called a "flop".

Play everything.
Implied odds rules.
Chase backdoor draws often to underbets in multiway pots.
Bring money. (You'll face bigger swings but bigger wins too)
Keep a playfull gambler image.
