Fish has played 100% of hands since sitting (always in with a limp). Alot of times he is calling raises. I've seen hands q10o, 56o, and everything in between. He sits on co with $170 and we have him covered.

Villain looks to me and says we need to see what you're raising with eventually. (I had just taken a few pots down in a row).
Too wide preflopraise from MP in my opinion, even with the huge fish limping. Offsuit small aces is just garbage hands, fold and dont think twice about it.
If the guy is playing almost any two i am betting this flop and going from there. Often this hand ends on the flop due to our equity denial bet, cause he will have so many airballs that is forced to fold.

Point still valid,ace-rag off is just too wide. I would rather open up my range with hands like 6-8 suited or 10-8 suited than offsuit raggy A hands that plays horrible even in position.
I understand OP's zeal pre-flop because a Pro feels the need to gut the fish before he busts. But this is how you get into trouble. The hardest thing in the world is to maintain pre-flop discipline against fish. Better to fold pre and especially good for your image to fold OTB.
(Last night I had to wait three hours before getting the right situation to take a big pot off a spewy guy like this and it's very frustrating I'll admit even for a Rec like me).
AP: prefer to check behind against this Villain after his speech. Normally I'd bet flop. He's looking to play back at you.
Villain played extremely passive post often cfing.
Results v checks flop, hero leads $30, and gets cred to 80. Hero folds and v shows a3hh for flopped straight.
I'm somewhat surprised by responses. Villain is limping calling, plays passively post and we have removal. We should be ahead of his range and we have position. Arguments against my raise pre when we are up against this sort of villain?
Generally I dont mind the button raise. But if you've been active, I think pre is better played as a call. OTF a small 1/4-1/3 pot bet seems fine. Not really an interesting spot IMO. Check would also be good.
