Hi!

On this kind of boards, I think a fish will call with lots of weaks hands on the flop that will end up folding on the river, so as soon as I have some backdoor equity I like 3barreling on this spot.

Do you think JTo is too weak to do that? Would you check fold instead? On the river I hit my T, so I thought I could value bet, but maybe I should have bet smaller...

Also, against a fish that don't fold much to cbets with which hands would you isolate preflop and would you have a overlimping range from the SB?

The opponent is a 53/18 with 38 WTSD in 35 hands.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Shakaflaka

Preflop: if the fish doesn't like folding postflop I would not isolate hands like this preflop that miss so much and we end up with a hand with poor equity OOP (in a bigger pot).

Postflop: As played I think that even ck/folding the flop would not be terrible given the board and opponent.

A half pot bet doesn't achieve much at all in that spot and our equity is poor.

As played we picked up equity and can fold overcards on the turn so I'd bet but make it bigger. Small bets induce light calls/raises.

And on the river what are you trying to get value from? can we not let him bet missed draws?

So what hands would your play preflop? Something like suited broadways, AJo+, KJo+ and strong pairs?

Would you complete the SB with weaker hands due to pod odds?

Many people advise to play as many pots as possible with fish, but I suppose being OOP and with not much foldequity on the flop, it is better to just iso raise a very strong range.

Thanks for your advise!

As soon as you have info about your opponents you can change your strategy.

Being OOP, with a weak hand vs someone that doesn't like folding means that we will have big pots that we have to drop frequently postflop.

So yes, I'd raise more hands that can continue postflop so ATo+, KJo+, big suited aces/broadways and pairs.

And completing SB depends a lot on who BB is as well.
