UTG+2 is uber fish , 83/2 in 46 hands, MP is a more decent player but still fishy, since he called my raise w/ MidStack, also 30/9 in 23 hands
I raised to isolate the fish to the left of me, the rest of the table was really passive, probs multitablers.
Flop: I shouldn't have cBet this board, it hits their range quite well.
Turn: I bet more for protection since I want to protect against FD, when MP shoves it's a clear call cause of the pot odds. I have reads that the UTG fish will call down with just about any pair so when he calls I'm still ahead
River: when UTG fish bets 5$ on that river I really fear he might have hit a flush, but I've seen him bet with weak hands too often so I make the call, with hope in my
==========================================================
Important observation: When I have (or what I perceive to be) a strong hand, like 2 pair, sets and higher (vs fish even Top Pair) I stop thinking about ranges, the possibility I can be beat, I don't think what kind of hands would call my bets, or more importantly, what hands would raise me! OMG I HAVE DA NUTZ LETZ GET THE MOENYEZ!!!11 This happens vs fish more often since I tend to think they are mindless retards
Example: I had A♣9♣
FLOP ($0.95) T♣ Q♣ 3♦
Hero bets $0.40, CO raises to $1.40, Hero raises to $3.50, CO raises to $11, Hero calls $4.59 (AI)
This is the first time I push all-in on the flop with a flushdraw, certainly the last. I didn't even think what hand could he play like that!

Starts out as the usual fish isolation. This is another biiig fish, playing 78/2 in 122 hands. The thing is he is usually passive but by now I guess he got used to the usual being isolated against me so who knows, maybe even trapped intentionally limping KK! Could the fish have brainz?
Biggest mistake in this hand was when I called flop raise. Calling down with top pair, even though a flush draw hit could be argued for.

The preflop call was so wrong, oh so wrong...
1. Out of position
2. Opponent seemed nit
3. Opponent had shortstack
Not much to say about postflop.

We're 6 handed, not much reads on opponent, his stack makes him look fishy. Decide to call his raise from the BU.
Flop: I call because I want to keep getting value from QJ, KJ, KT, QT, Jx, Tx, Ax.
Turn: I decide to put out a small bet there. 1. to induce a raise from a strong ace; 2. to get called by his weaker range. When he only calls this bet I am giving him a rather weak range, a T or a J.
River: The Ace kinda scares me so I check. He bets 1/2 pot. He could very well bet like this with a weaker range than mine to get me to fold since my hand doesn't look that strong: I called flop, small bet turn, check river.
I need 25% equity to call here. In my view, there are many hands that could play like this, depending on the aggressiveness of the player.
Board: J♦A♥T♠ 5♥ A♣
Equity Win Tie
MP2 28.17% 28.17% 0.00% { JcTd }
MP3 71.83% 71.83% 0.00% { A2s+, KJs-KTs, QTs+, T9s, 98s, A2o+, KJo-KTo, QTo+, T9o, 98o }
Given the fact he seemed rather passive in the small sample this would be a close fold.

Turn bet was too big, I think I would mostly get called by better Q, combo draws, 45
River: also bet a bit too big here, should have been smaller. Against the raise I guess there is no choice but to fold.

River is NEVER a call there
That's about it for now, lessons learned. LESS tables, MORE FOCUSED, especially on ranges, LESS bad calls (especially against fish).
