I’ll go first -
If someone talks about quads like some mystical hand then I know they don’t play too often.
What does another player do that instantly makes you think they aren’t very experienced?

When they think every reraise on every street is a 3 bet.
I told a guy last night I would've called a 3 bet (he called in the SB when he should've 3 bet) and he was like "on the turn????".
Can you explain what is/isn't a 3bet?
Yes. Preflop, the big blind (or straddle) is the first bet. The open raise is the 2nd bet and a reraise would be a 3bet. Then 4bet etc.
The counter resets on every street so on the flop there are 0 bets until someone makes one. Then the first reraise is the 2bet but no one says that they just say they got check raised or reraised. Then if there is another raise it becomes a 3 bet and so on as long as there are more raises.
A reraise is a 3 bet. Bet, raise, re-raise. It’s the third bet.
I think new players get confused because they don't consider the big blind to be a blind bet. They just see it as its own thing.
