Playing against fish#1

reeeeally super ez bet flop
as played shoving river seems borderline, non-nut flush in paired flop... feel like there are just not enough worse hands there, though i guess it would be doable with A:c.

Checked the flop with intention to check-raise.

Showed the river because thinked he's on lower flush.

well yeah, i got that but he definitely has enough of hands that are better than yours.
minr river is ALWAYS a hand that he perceives to be the nuts... and while that can be some worse flushes, he can definitely have QJ/JJ/77/66/A:c (typical fish slowplay), maybe even Q6s Q7s so you probably need him to have quite a lot of trash ♣ in order to shove profitably.

flop c/r is, well, just too fancy without knowing his bet% vs missed cbet.

Hi Erniastukas,

Preflop: Our default assumption should be that fish are passive unless we have info to tell us otherwise.

So slowplaying here is a pretty bad mistake in my opinion. On top of that fish hate folding paired boards.

So the default line should be bet/bet/bet. If you have reads that he is aggro and likes to stab then go for the checks.

The river is close and depends on if we expect him to raise all flushes (not just nutty ones). We know for a fact that he'd raise the nutty ones (all fish do). But since the flop got checked around he can literally have any flush draw.

PS: great job with the blog. Keep it up. And that's a nice looking dog

Thanks, he grows fast. Will try to keep my bankroll growing even faster
