I have never played poker please explain the rules

[fearisthekey]

(Sighs). Third time this has happened to me in a cash game. What's the story with these geezers that know nothing about poker, want the rules explained, then suddenly discover check raising/semibluffing and leave the table 2 grand up? Lining themselves up for some expensive dental work, no?

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Does that trick still work?

Like a reply on another forum where this same subject was brought up a couple of days ago, the first question I'd ask would be "so you've been playing since when? 4 years old?"..
