yeah i was telling my friends that i dont want to play with a buncha of novices online, they're nearly unbeatable because it's 100% a luck game when you play them. the best you can hope for is to go in with the best cards (the helmuth "13") and hope to make them pay when you have the best hand.

LOL, some home game players I recently hooked up with would play "crabs, or pocket 44's (gotta double check that one read it in a book), all the way through the hand no matter what. Although if you are still in the hand at that point it's not as funny, let me tell you firsthand there is nothing better than playing with a bunch of novices. They all have different reaasons why they sucks, they just suck, and we reap with the better of it.

And in response to your trouble beating novices...Just play solid fundamental poker as you know it...tight/aggressive, only move in with BIG cards, and mix it up a bit. Good Luck

the novices just dont recognize what to do in different situations, and they get married to their underpairs, etc. this would be the worst possible situation to pull the TP QQ/JJ move.

i love the loose/passive tables that are usually jumping online and at foxwoods. sure, there can be a player or two that you just cant beat, but if you are taking money from 7 players, adn losing to 2, that will usually make for a pretty good session.
