Bad players get good hands too

[pokerbucket]

Anyone have advice on when to pick up on a bad player that gets a monster hand?

I usually separate bad players into two categories: Bad preflop players and bad postflop players.

Sometimes players will go all in only with huge pairs preflop but they will make big mistakes after the flop and call with not much of a hand...Other times players will start shoving all in with any two cards before the flop yet they will tighten up after the flop.

it depends if you're playing cash or tournaments. but in general, i don't adjust my play too much to the player. i play tight and play my hand. i won't risk my stack on a marginal hand. and i try not to bluff bad players. they're calling stations usually. so they'll call almost anything with bottom pair or even ace high. as a general rule though, bad players will take care of themselves. eventually, they run into a hand and get taken out.
