What Tells From Home Game Beginners?

[CardBlunt]

Hi,

I have a regular home game - strictly a social event, $10 limit hold'em with blinds of 10c/25c. I started the game to include my fiancee in my poker hobby, as I play online and at tournaments quite a bit and I didn't want her to feel excluded. Apart from myself, noone has any prior poker experience - they all still regularly refer to hand rankings during the games.

As you might guess, this makes the games something of a lottery - as noone has any real idea of good or bad hands, I never know where I am and as such have resorted to playing tighter than usual (these guys are serious calling stations!)

Now I am never going to get rich here, but I am wondering what advice anyone has against such inexperienced players - as it seems quite different than playing against even slightly better players. I figure there's something to be learned here. In particular, what tells have you spotted in total beginners that might be useful?
