I think I'll never understand this. Why do you keep on stating things like if they were undeniable facts? Do you have any black and white data to back it up?

He was folding >60% otr and has a lot of 2p and possibly all straights and set combos, if he starts folding Kx my valuebet becomes bad very fast. Just think about which hands in his range he can call me with and which heat me. Is a fold-happy guy stationing me down with all Tx?

There's no way a fold happy fish will call me with worse >50% on that texture if I bet big

You ran well at 200z in the beggining then lost it all back if i remember correctly, when you were unlikely to be +ev there. While you probably dont have -2,7bb at 100z you were ay best a very small winner there.

if you follow chaotic thread you can see him playing midstakes and making more money than you, which is something to respect imo, but even if you dont, the guy just showed up and politely tried to give advice on a hand and you replied like a little ***** who cant stand different opinions. (Not saying i agree with chaotic analysis of the hand)

Nobody is 100%, but I trust my logic in that spot, gotta think about what calls us down vs which sizings when playing vs fish. Tbh given how tight he is I wouldn't be surprised if x/f KQ would be best in there, when people fold too much their range becomes exponentially stronger very quickly, specially on boards that just connect more and more.

There's a huge difference between someone's range after defending a triple barrel if they fold 50%/50%/50% than if they fold 60%/60%/60%. The 50% guy gets to the river with a 12% range and 60% guy with 6%(not considering turn/flop raises).

I doubt your sample is relevent enough on a fish to draw any conclusion about what he will and will not call, that said I don't hate the sizing with AA, think a fish may call a 2/3 bet just as often with his Kx though

Also check-calling is terrible and check-folding seems bad, but better than betting big or check-calling imo. So went for the small bet-fold.

Spoiler:

Don't range check fish. Bet your big hands for value, check your weak hands and hope to get to showdown cheaply. You can even do this against many regs, until they figure out what you're doing.

I'm amazed it took you this long to figure out how to beat fish, and only after about 20 people in this thread telling you. How were you playing against fish before now?

It's easy for you guys to say that it's a no brainer cbet, but I already think too much on almost any spots in ways you probably don't, so I burnout way faster.

Reliable otf/otr, otr I'm not sure, will look later and post here, probably 6/10. Lots of nitfish put tons of volume at 50z, therw's a nitfish I have 4k hands on btw (and he folds 7% to 3-bets over that sample haha)

There are fish that overcall and fish that overfold, the majority I play against at 50z is overfold fish, we can print a lot of bbs vs someone who plays like that even after the rake, it's fine. There are other ways of making money at poker other than underbluffing and hoping to get called by worse most of the time.

I never try to be funny. Dont see how “you should bet 3 streets vs a passive fish” could ever be funny. Though if you take the last page you can see literally everyone is saying what I’ve said many times before. Call it trolling or bad comedy. I call it facts.

How is -2.7evbb/100 over 140k hands running bad?

I would be burning out too if I had to play balanced poker against a bunch of nitregs while paying 10bb/100 in rake.

Fwiw. Up until last week you werent capable of playing the most trivial spot in poker correctly. Yet somehow you’re a 200z crusher who has just been running bad his whole life?

That's the average fish that plays 50z
