No reads

it's annoying being lead into by this fish because river leads are often strong but against fish it's less so because his perception of strong involves a wider range. I still feel like I have to call because I can see lesser two pairs doing this too (as well as his flushes)

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I've seen this in another few hands of yours but why do you have this perception that fish will wait until the board is really ugly to bet strong their less than nutty hands?

It makes no sense for A4 to call flop/turn and pot donk the river. Also doesn't make sense for a hand like QT.

So there you either have a bluff (maybe a weak pair turned into bluff) or pure value (flush or KJ).

If he's an aggro fish I can see calling but otherwise this is more of a hero fold. AT is the same as AJ or A2 there.
