Bigsky_52 asked:
I attended “casino night” for my wife’s college the other day, and wound up playing poker. NLHE, blinds 1/2. The strange thing is that NOBODY at the table knew what they were doing. Two of the girls even asked for the card that ranks the hands! Consequently I saw some truly ridiculous plays. One girl had the stone nuts and checked it down. She hit her flush on the turn and didn’t do a thing with it. Another girl had aces full and was really unsure whether to call a min bet on the river! Meanwhile people were calling with absolute rags, and generally turning the game into a slot machine. I busted out when I flopped the nuts, went all in, and had some girl call me who needed runner runner (which she hit). I’ve heard and seen that you can’t bluff a bad player. But when all 8 or 9 of your opponents barely know the game is there any skill involved at all? Or can you only sit back, wait for a monster, and hope you don’t get drawn out on?
