Re: Beating bad players
dont assume that they will play good poker. dont put too much money into the pot when your hand is vulnerable. dont think that a 60/40 or a 70/30 edge is going to carry you through the hand just because you're ahead on the flop -- dont overvalue top pair top kicker type hands when there are obvious and easy draws on the table and you're not that far ahead. raise or fold, dont let them see free cards. raise to see if they've made their hand when the scare card hits. know when you've been beaten and make the laydown. try to show down the nuts a few times to let them know what they're drawing against. essentially, make sure there's more money in the pot when you have the winning hand than is in the pot when they do. all of which is easier said than done.
