Hello!
My question is did I play this hand well against a fish stat player?
I think I could acquire the pot if he misses the flop because he is a weak player.
Or maybe was it a clear fold before flop?
I wasn't thinking about allin and just a reraise would have been pot commiting.
What is the good way of thinking here?
Thank you in advance.

Pre-flop is close to call here with 2 re-shove stacks behind you as well, but I think it’s still fine to play in position against a fish with 23bb effective stack.
As played I would most likely check behind with middle pair and her-evaluate the turn. I don’t think you have much value here. As played it’s a fold for sure on his check/raise.

Cheers,
