Adjusting play to terri-bad players

Playing 2NL has it's big share of bad players, but most of them aren't rediculously terrible.

I'm having trouble on figuring out how to play against the absolute worst players. The ones who watch WSOP ME 2008 to learn the game and don't have any real clue about it. They don't know what M is, they don't know what position is, any ace-x at full ring is a good hand to them, and they feel they have a big stack when they have 3x BB left but a lot of $1 chips. How do i modify my play to adjust to them? Probably for a full ring SNG live tournament

For example, a 2/3rd pot size CBET on a rag flop will rarely ever get them off their 2 overcards hand since they're emotionally attached to it after calling a PF raise. The only pretty solid play that has worked before is check/raising when they try to buy a pot.

Any anti-noobie tips would be greatly appreciated

Cash or tourney?

In Cash, I'm more inclined to splash around and gamble with them. In Tourney it's can be tougher because you can't change seats, rebuy and play multiple streets. All of those are my favorite weapons.

Give them math lessons! There is no way they will compute EV or anything near it. Pick them off with premium hands and post flop play. Like you said though, if an Ace flops, proceed with caution.
