If a good player raises you in that situation, you can almost rest assured they have ace 7 or 5 suited, or a higher kick than J.  Not always, of course, but usually they will have such a hand, and not on a straight draw.  Maby with a Kh Xh, but not 6 8.  Punish 'em for being on a draw.  If they just raise you, then go over the top.  Make 'em risk it on a draw.  Chances are they will fold that AK that has you beat.

Oh, and too get on topic, Bill, I agree.  You simply can't bluff a novice player.  Hence, the essence of beginner's luck.  If everyone plays good hands, and that one player plays low cards, chances are the low cards will hit.  There just aren't enough high cards left in the deck, (think blackjack).  So not only can you not bluff them, they will seemingly always hit their rags to beat you.  Case in point, the other day I went Josh Arieh/Phil Hellmuth on this guy because he called my preflop bet on my KK with 3 9 off, and ended up hitting 3 10 3 on the flop.  I bet it up, and he called, then got a 4th 3 on the River.  In that case, I had the goods, and wasn't bluffing, (Only AA or rags beat me, and he had the latter.) but he still stuck with his 3 9 off.  Such is the wrath of ESPN and the Travel Channel.
