Hey, how are you doing
Well, in principle I agree... but villain is a fish... 1) he doesn't understand sizings very well 2) if he is calling 1 street with some small pp /gut shots or sth to fold the turn I want to maximize my value now. 3) vs fish I play fast, here my plan is to go for 2 streets

And you see that in practice he shows a hand you wouldn't image he would play like this... In my experience value betting large vs the fish even on dry boards works unexpectedly often

h1 fish=inelastic calling range?

edit: lol didnt see the response

After you tilt them... this is what happens... who said that in zoom there is no meta-game ?

Yes I 3bet a lot vs you, and only vs you? and then I over bet vs you, and only vs you? and when you decide to play aggressively you will be behind :f_drink::f_drink::f_cool::f_biggrin:♠_drink:

Just realized that one main strategy point for you is to piss off other regulars, so they play bad against you later. "how can I be losing to this fish that donkbet me small on the river!".

The winning strategy doesn't differ that much from the fish strategy in some aspects... it is only a thin line between them ♠_drink::f_love:♠_drink: Play like the fish without being the fish and the regs will piss off fast

Sorry for not understanding, but what is so special about this hand? This seems like a standard hand where opponent who can't fold got coolered. And the shove also isn't anything special? He has a few Ax combos that we might get a bit more value if we raise normally; so pretty standard shove vs JJ, 55, A4 (or any other 4x he might have) that he won't be able to fold most likely?

I have some reads... and some population reads... and I play far away from standard game, especially in my stake where I know the field :f_o::f_love::f_p::f_tongue:

I don't know who is the fish in this spot, the guy who limps / calls w AQ... or me who isolates 6bb w 62o!!? :f_p::f_drink::f_biggrin:

If I know you are iso raising 62, I would be limp calling all day long.

IsoR 62o is probably decreasing your wr in long run.
