When you realise youre up against a fish...

    Default When you realise youre up against a fish...

    ... Punish them properly. Dont try to get cute. Dont worry about cbetting missed AK when they will call anything. Just concentrate on making a hand and pushing it HARD.
    When they suck out, dont whine about bad beats. Get back in the game and get as much in as you can when you know you are ahead.

    In this hand I thought MP3 would fold to my reraise (which is fine by me) but MP2 had seen 92% of flops and seemed to have a "well ive already put money in... it will be wasted if i dont call the raise". So I decided to reraise BIG to isolate.
    He was calling with any pair or any draw so I was happy to value bet the max. Against a semi-tight player I would have probably only reriased to $4 and bet 2/3 pot on the flop. The turn would have had me seriously worried. Against this guy I still felt I was ahead of his range so I kept on going.

    He never showed his cards, so sadly I dont know what he had. Id guess at a T or a straight draw or some other PP...

    play as many hands as you think are ahead of their range, beat up on them postflop, don't overdo it and never fold though, fish get cards too.

    Rinse and repeat

    Wait for good cards and trap them.
