I think it simply comes down to how much value you make by iso'ing hard or playing postflop with him. Raise $75 preflop and win with a cbet, vs limping $2 and valuetowning him some number of streets. I mean are you stacking him when you limp AK and flop TPTK? If so, then yeah I'd always go for whichever results in the highest net win.

You know, I think I will start that thread in poker theory as to not derail this thread

1. FOLD. I've seen plenty of fish overbetting boards like this to protect their 2pair/set from straight draws. There are some who do it with pair+draw but you aren't exactly in great shape against them either.
2. CALL. Fish don't limp/reraise aces. Old nits do so, and some decent regs sometimes use this play. Limp/shove from a fish is 99% of the time a small/mid-pocket pair 22-99. They do this because they have no idea how to play it postflop.
3. VARIES. Fish's range here is pairs TT-AA. I'd shove if effective stacks are 300 or less. If we're super deep we might flat and see what he does OTF.
4. CALL. I'm never folding a set for 100bb.
