Strategy in tournaments with beginners

I am curious to know how other people play their tournaments when there are very inexperienced players at their table during a tournament.

I'll give you a couple of examples. And of the people at this table, 4 are beginner players and at any time any or all of these 4 players would do this:

Position and big blind and small blind didn't seem to matter to one of these players at the table.

Blinds are at 50/100

Poket hand: me 10/10 (SB) Raise to 600
opponent J/7 Calls $600 raise

Flop: 8s9s10s

I bet $600 (half pot) and opponent calls. With her pre-flop call, I'm thinking shes holding maybe a pair of 9s or 8s or something higher?

Anyways she goes on to win this hand, at a showdown. (I didnt lose anymore money as we both checked around the table.)

Another hand in the tourney I am in late position and I have ac10c blinds 50/100 and I raise $400 as others have limped in. I get 2 callers pre-flop. I flop rags and others are betting so I get out of the hand. At the showdown, my ac10c were called with a k7o and 89o, the k7o ended up with 2 pair.

My last hand in the tourney, we are down to five. I have the button, and blinds are 200/400. 2 plrs after bb fold and I push all in with an as/ks (2400 raise) small blind quickly folds and big blind calls with a Qs/Js. He hits a J on the flop and I am sent packing. What a bad beat.

The bottom line is that I don't think this is poker. It's hard to raise preflop with beginning players who just don't know when they should be in and when they should be out. Can't bet them out because as shown in some of the examples above, they play unreal draws and such. In the end, in a tourney like this it really came down to who got the cards, I found it very difficult to play my opponents and was left to play the cards.

Sorry to blabber on, but does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking it would probably be better to just steer clear of games like these.
