No se sabe contra que tipo de rangos de manos puedes enfrentarte al jugar con aficionados, ello pueden jugarte con toda la baraja. Jugarías contra ellos adivinando, sin seguridad de saber si vas ganando o perdiendo. No tienen patrón de juego definido y a veces hasta tienen más suerte que uno mismo.

I mean, I'm a newb so I don't know if my input is valid but I think it just depends on how you play. If you peg someone as a beginner you should probably tone your play down.
For instance, if you have AA, general reaction might be to raise pre-flop unless you are playing deceptive. Against a total beginner, they don't care, they'll have J 4 off suit and call. Now look, there's a flop and its J J 4. Total beginner goes all in, now you get to decide if they are still full of it, or if they just didn't know what they were doing and got lucky.
So for beginners, what I've seen, they don't like to fold, even if you originally went all in with those AA, they'd probably call because "why not".
I'd say against a beginner play for the post-flop, hell if they are making limping in cheap cause they don't know better, you should limp in just to fold a couple when they bet to make them feel good. Then you can go to work on them. Get it in their heads that if you're calling them repeatedly you're weak, shove on the river and then watch them go all-in, and crush them.

Both. They tend to play week hands and you can take advantage of that. Pick up some easy chips with that. Sometimes they get lucky and they pull it off and that keeps them playing that way. What helps me against them is winning consistently is playing good hands against them due to winning most of the hands.

One of the things most noticeable about playing with the same players are patterns - you can pretty much know who is going to play what in certain spots and also those who will play with a wide range - for instance any ace is an immediate jam.
Playing amateurs can be frustrating as often the hands they play are unconventional, math goes out of the window and they can fall into the category of a luck player and these type of players can be tough to beat when they have amassed a stack as they tend to play every hand or call and jam with any piece of the board.

I almost never bluff beginners, especially those who like to call down and Chase every draw they have. Also, top hair with an okay kicker and loose home games will win lots of hands. Essentially I punish them for trying to draw to their flushes or straights. If I'm ever re-raised, I usually fold or at least slow down.
If the flush hits and they come out betting, I will let go of some strong hands.

Hello!:ciao:
I would say that an amateur is different from an amateur - it all depends on the situation and what kind of amateur you will encounter. Players who have not studied strategy theory very often behave outside the box, and this is very confusing. But in fact, you should just watch such a player, and after half an hour or an hour you will more or less imagine how he plays. Although it is difficult to do this in multi-table tournaments. Develop discipline, and amateurs will not be a hindrance to you.
P.S.: Said an amateur.

I don't consider myself a professional, I'm more of a regular fisherman, but I can definitely say that in the later stages of the tournament the game becomes more readable. Accordingly, at the beginning of the game, when anyone can push everything into the pot, the game becomes unpredictable, and of course, thoughtless risks fly out of the game by the late stage and turn out to be adequate people, but no one canceled luck in poker, so even with monster hands you can lose to trash hands.

I'm not a great player but i know a bit more than my friends. so when I play against them, they're are sometimes hard to read, but if i've got the nuts or a fairly decent hand then it's easier to get big gains from them

La dificultad de jugar contra jugadores aficionados o recreativos, a corto plazo, es que no manejan rangos, te pueden dar o igualar con AA, AK, TT Y 2-7, 3-8 4-t de. Esto significa que muchas veces estamos expuestos a la varianza y terminamos recibiendo un mal que rompe el mejor par. a largo plazo siempre es más rentable jugar con ellos, te asegura una ganancia.

Hey, happens all the time: runner, runner to a straight or flush or two top pair or trips or just top pair. But it doesn't happen more often than it happens and that's where we maintain our edge. We accept our bad luck, lick our wounds, and continue on to the next game and hopefully find someone else who makes the same blunder calls.

A professional is an amateur who has won a major tournament and started making money playing poker.
They read not novice players, but those of them who do not know how to disguise themselves.

You usually want to play against worse players if you are trying to make money, unless they are doing something extremely bad like limping to players who are sitting out and hurting all the active players at the table. I think table/game selection is one of the most under appreciated skills in poker.

It depends, because I've been eliminated several times for players, who in my opinion, were beginners, as they played with marginal hands and even so managed to eliminate me with the help of luck, with straights, flushes or trips that hit the table.
