Very next hand, I have 3bb left and what do I see, pocket 7's! I shove again, get one caller (T8o, another monster!) and I hit my set (woohoo!). Turn is an 8 and river is also an 8, giving him a higher set and booting me out on the bubble.
So yes, noobs are a plenty.
Sorry boss but i don't know about this. That would give you a full house, and the winning hand.
He had paired the 10 and thus it was higher fullhouse, not a higher set, my bad.

Annoying it may be but remember if you keep moving your chips with the best hand you will win in the long term.
Also when they win with the bad hands it is good practice for not going on tilt - try and stay calm about it, remember who done what, make notes and move on to the next hand.
Never bluff a newbie - it is a waste of time (and money )
Stay patient, stay in control (of tilt and gameplay)
You can beat them and all their chips can be yours

They are playing like it's 3 or 4 handed when it's not because they saw a pro do it on TV.
I never once said the USPC plays were bad.
sorry, misunderstanding.
I did read it wrong

Point being, don't complain too much about all these players getting better because of all the poker training sites...or the poker boom being over because if you drop down a bit trust me it's like fishing with dynamite if you can dodge the 2 outters. There are still a massive surplus of totally clueless noobz.
Maybe he was sure he was like 40/60 and knew he was gambling. That would make it okay then, right?

True, just yesterday I was playing a SNG and I was down to 10bb so I pushed with KQ when it was handed to me. I get one caller (similar chipstack who is folding every hand, so I figure he has something better to call an all-in and prepare to register to another table) that turns over 10-4 and who asks me: "How can you push with this crap, everyone knows you gotta raise 3bb without an Ace or a pair"...
My crap hand held up and I finished ITM
