Betsizings tell me he's a fish aswell. If he's a reg you should go through ur database to make sizing reads.

As played it looks like:
Flop a pure bluff,
Turn Semibluff,
River hit flush.

So a fold shouldn't be too bad.

Hand vs a weakreg.
I wasn't that active in 3betting pre, so my 4bet should've gotten alot of respect. Him just calling bends his range more to AK than high PP's. Cuz i see him 5betting PP's to get HU with PP's and not get outdrawn.

That makes this flop a quite standard cbet for me

Agree with this!

What about preflop though? Is it a standard call? I try to avoid those spots (It's almost like you call A4o vs fishy CO open which also doesn't look great). Our hand doesn't flop great and we don't beat any Ax. We can't bluffraise that many flop nor turns knowing he's fishy. This is why I would fold preflop but I'm open for critics to this!

It plays fine IP vs a fish imo.

Vs any fish? Fold vs aggro fish?

Just dropped 1k in 1 session. Biggest loss session after last weeks badrun.

Now 15~BI under ev in one week time.
