Playing against inexperienced players

Everyone plays different, and because of that you need to adjust how you play against certain players. It is my honest opinion that to beat players who are less skilled or just plain not any good, you must just stick to ABC poker. What I mean is, it is not the best idea to think to hard. Don't assume you can shove a river on an obvious draw board that was completed, because if they see AA or KK in their hand, they aren't going anywhere. Most beginning players only play the 2 cards in their hands.
They don't really put any thought into what you might have, or how the betting action has gone. Just wait for great spots, and play fairly tight. Top Pair to a beginning player is like a set of aces on a rainbow board to a good player. They will almost always over play it, and most likely pay you off with it. I guess what I am trying to say is "Don't try and trick someone who doesn't know how to be tricked"
