What do others think of a larger flop raise?
As played, call -- you only need to be ahead 20% of the time to be break even

In the OP you don't make an estimate of his range.
Also, how many hands do you have on this opponent?

Cheers,

Raising much bigger on flop and then shoving turn would be my standard line vs someone like this on these boards.

I don't mind calling down either.

Playing against a fish can have his ups and downs. Dont differ to much from your default game. You get easy on tilt if they suck you out.

Play tight and wait for a better hand. For your mindset its better to be paitient. A lot of fish are playing quite good but have not much understanding of the math here and there.
On my old database. over 65% Fish with over 500 hands were winning player. some are even strong winning player. they loose drastically moving up.

You can play like Dr1fter808 suggested but it would be swingi

For you i would say try more to think a about you plan and what the range of your opponent has like VorpalF2F said.

Default i would fold the river but when you see bluffs or real weak hands before i tent to call the river.

I like a larger flop sizing vs a perceived fish id treat the small donk bet pretty much like a check.Looking at the pot size of $5 on the flop i'm just making it $4 for them to continue.

If the guy is a maniac I don't think raising is best, this will tip him off to the fact that you have a strong hand and let him off the hook. We want to let him bluff his stack off I would call down all 3 streets, if the guy is a maniac hard to put him on a range because they stone cold bluff frequently, they rely on you to fold to win the pot.
