New Players

There seems to be quite a few new players around and I recognise in them things I would do in my noob days.

Like betting 10c with top pair on the flop to try and get people to put money in the pot, not realising it gives drawing hands a cheap route to improve. Prime example new player bets 30c pre-flop with JJ I call from the BB with 89clubs, flop 679 with 2 clubs (lots of outs) I check he bets 10c (to keep me interested) I call and the turn 10 completing my straight, I check he bets 10c and I re-raise 2/3 of the pot he calls, river is a club making me a flush, I bet 2/3 of the pots and he calls with his JJ and loses. I went from second pair, to straight, to flush and he thinks I was lucky to beat his Jacks.

One thing I hate about these 10c betters is on the river with a scary board may be I have top pair or second pair, but could be beaten by flush or straight and in reality I just want to go check, check and see where I'm at as I'm sure the guy in first position is looking to check raise and the noob between me an him bets 10c in to a pot of $1.50 just incase and I have to call, giving the check raiser the opportunity put pressure on us all.

Bank Roll $399.23 mainly thanks to noobs letting me catch up cheaply and me letting them chase a flush exspensively.
