SB stats 57/7 agg 10.5 over 128 hands

I was't considering call as imho it didn't make much sense having one more villain behind so it came down to either fold or RR and evaluate .fish showed themselves too aggressive postflop usually not without the reason. the question is how often do they have a really strong hand in the spot? just wondering your opinion on that

SB: $18.57 (185.7 bb)
BB: $11.66 (116.6 bb)
UTG+2: $10.30 (103 bb)
MP1: $15.87 (158.7 bb)
MP2: $10.15 (101.5 bb)
Hero (MP3): $11.52 (115.2 bb)
CO: $15.06 (150.6 bb)
BTN: $10 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K♦: K♥:
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.30, CO folds, BTN calls $0.30, SB calls $0.25, BB folds

Flop: ($1) 6♠: T♠: 2♠: (3 players)
SB bets $1,
Hero?

It’s to bad we don’t have any re-draw on the flop and the fish is pot betting in to 2 players.
It sounds nitty, but I don’t think you can’t do much else then folding.

Cheers,

thanks man

Yeah, I guess I should be more nitty against fish. They are pretty much straightforward and playing fancy game with them doesn't make sense.

It is not that bad if you call. Try to collect some more info on his donking habits.

Really ugly spot
You don’t make a big mistake in just folding

But I guess calling is an option as well
But turn you will have to fold to another big bet ( maybe villain bluffed once and give up) or to another spade

This spot sucks, but I think you can call once? Too bad you don't have Ks, but calling once and see if he keeps betting might make sense. Yes fishy players tend to be straightforward, but it doesn't mean they can't bluff. I would assume that he can bluff here and often give up OTT, so if he keeps betting there you know he isn't bluffing, if he checks, you know he was bluffing and you can write a note for the future.

Yes, as others said I'd probably call on the flop, and see what he does on the turn.

thanks guys. all your comments are helpful. I would call as well if I were HU with the fish. I don't like call OTT just because of another vilain behind who automatically gets odds for getting to the turn considering also his position. and yes, very often big donk bets from fish usually turn out to be bluffs or semibluffs and a big RR does the job. that's why I don't like calling if I have a gut feeling that I'm ahead. too many cards on the turn might slow down the action or make me fold. I also agree that Ks would make a difference.
