I have no idea how to play at 200nl, but I would check back on T and call R unless he bets big and if he checks R i would bet around halfpot . There are alot of FD in his range given he's a fish. Any postflop stats on villain and what hand sample?

not relevant that it's 1/2. Player dependent and the player I played against can be found in any stake. Only less frequently at higher.

219 hands. Nothing really interesting post-flop stats to give because low sample. More towards passive (Call lines than raising lines)

I wouldnt recommend opening connectors in an EP even if faced with fish. At NL200 you're gonna be squeezed big time, playing that kinda hands OOP may cause a lot of trouble. Anywho, with OESD ott x/b in order to cotrol the pot (u shouldnt bluff a weak player, unless you wanna be called, in that case not likely). OTR ez game, no room to fold.

Should we be afraid of the flush? We make a solid, committing bet on river and get xr...

Do you think that it´s OK to double barel draw IP vs such a fish? My standard play is x/b T here but not sure it´s OK.

As played OTR I´m not able to fold vs fish who can overplay his weaker made hands.

barrelling turn should be fine to bet as a bluff as we can have alot of flushes if we start checking hands like this with no showdown our barrelling range is way too strong IMO from UTG - it's like a tonne of flushes and a few AdQx KdQx type hands

I think i prefer a smaller bet/fold on the river, we opened and tripple barrelled from UTG where we have loads of Ax flushes i just can't see this being a bluff anywhere enough of the time to make a call

Against a fish flop and turn seems fine, but I would rather bet the river smaller (1/2) and fold when he raises.

With the bet we've made on the river, we have committed ourselves and folding is awkward. If we bet 1/2 it looks fine.

I think the river sizing is OK because we don't expect the fish to fold Kx.

He seems like such a whale that he might even decide to raise 75s here "hur dur i has two pair" so even calling this raise probably isn't the worst thing in the world. Obviously we have to, getting 3-1, but I imagine we win significantly more than that.
