Hi, the question is, should I raise less here, like 500/600? I raised big cause I knew that villian was a fish. The villian was a 57/4 on a 50 hands sample

I ship it, 8 blinds behind, this small raise looks like a monster.

Hi, in my opinion I will shove vs a reg/medium player. But in this case, the villian is a fishy player, and I think if I push he don't understard that i can be steeling. So my line was to try to get more value pre flop, knowing his gonna flat me raise a lot of times.

(sry for bad english)

Just shove pre. More than half of the time there is gonna be an overcard on the flop and you hate life. JJ is a very strong hand, yet vulnerable postflop.

Yes usually. Shoving over a limp for 9bb w JJ 5-handed is never gonna be a mistake. This way you also make up for the positional disadvantage. Stack sizes are too shallow for postfop play + we don't want to end in a nasty spot facing one or 2 overs. The fact that he is a loose casual with a big stack makes it even better. We are gonna get called more often.
