Toasty, you are referring to limit right? If so, I would agree that big cards go down in value. In NL, you have to use more caution. Beginners will call big raises with dominated hands, so when you get that big starting hand make them pay to see that flop.

I find beginners will pay off hands like TPTK all the way down to river when they are holding low, middle pair or top pair with garbage kicker. You just have to know when to release a good hand when they start reraising you.

For example, last night I was forced to lay down AA 3 times in a ring game withing 1 1/2 hours. People were calling my 4 and 6 xBB raise with J10s and Q8s and board kept bringing straight or flush.

Another way that you save money against beginners is their relative lack of aggression or over-aggression. Lack of aggression lets you limp in with the 22, Axs and suited connectors hoping to hit it big. Beginner over-aggression lets you wait for that premium hand or flopped set to take their whole stack.

As mentioned above, against beginners you have to just play the cards and read the board. You can't get much information by their actions because they are calling stations that can have anything and it is hard to bluff. Set traps and bet for value when you hit a hand.
