Dorkus, your advice on not being shy to check down hands that are shameful to take to the river such as middle pair or bottom set is good for picking up small pots here and there, but the ones you pick up probably only equalize when you consider the ones you lose by showing down hands like bottom pair, etc. when the calling station wakes up with a hand himself.  The whole problem she was having was not being able to put the guy on a hand because he never raised anything and was subject to call any bet with crap cards.  She can't necesarily make the correct determination as to whether to bet or check it down if she has no read on the opposition, which is why she should play a tight aggressive game and not allow someone playing an unorthodox style to get her out of her own strategy.    She most certainly can't go wrong by playing a fairly tight game and being aggressive when she has a hand.

As long as the other player isn't betting into her at all and is strictly calling all of her bets she should simply make her bet size relative to the strength of her hand and the texture of the board.  Unless she's in the blinds and already has chips in the middle, I see no reason to get involved at all without a decent hand.
