actually, your calibration is way way WAYYY off....
fish psychology is not the same as a thinking player's psychology.
There are various breeds of fish that will respond differently to various situations:
Super Station fish: Will call ANY amount as long as he has a piece of the board
Super Drawing fish: Will call ANY amount as long as he is on a draw
Normal Station fish: Will call up to pot sized bets if he has a piece of the board
Normal Drawing fish: Will call up to pot sized bets if he is on a draw
"I put you on AK" fish: This fish will call almost any bet to include stacking off post flop if he has ANY pair provided no Ace or King hits the board and you are the preflop raiser
TPGK fish: This fish will call any bet and stack off as long as he has top pair to include low ball flop like 8 5 2
.
Afraid of the FD fish: This fish will not only call but will often overshove any board with a flush draw on it because he's pathologically afraid of his TPGK losing to a flush draw
Pitbull fish: this fish will latch onto to any piece of the board hoping to pick up 2 pair or trips on future streets, will easily call up to pot sized bets
Gamboool fish: Will call down on any draw or piece of the board. In fact, this fish will draw to draw meaning he will go for runner runner
Why so much fish? This fish loves to soul read and hero call big bets
Ignorant fish: This fish has absolutely no concept of pot size vs stack size and just calls down TPWK or better despite board texture
I could go on and on and on but I'll stop there.
In short, our villains don't think like we do and make a host of mistakes. sure, not all of our villains are droolers or level 1 players, but easily 50% (if not more) of them are. Not to mention that even the ABC players and semi competent players can and will level themselves all the time.
Based on your post I get the sense you are a thinking player probably used to online play... Unfortunately, the paradigm that goes with online play will cost you money in the live game and/or you will end up leaving tons of money on the table.
Have a look at this thread I started a while back that focuses on TYPICAL LLSNL play/situations we see daily...
hope this helps

seriously, have a look at the above thread to get a better sense of the villains we will often encounter at LLSNL
