Passing spots in hypers because of chip lead or playing a rec (against whom we might happen every now and then to have post flop skill advantage) is simply wrong.
some people will agree with the below, others disagree but here it is:
you should have a significantly different mindset when playing against fish vs. solid reg
- against a solid reg who won't make many mistakes, you need to be taking every +ev spot however marginal they are. that includes iso with Q4s which as i said previously is standard vs regs.
- against a fish who has enormous leaks, there's just no need to push for those very marginal +ev spots.
this is from both speaking with fish crushers at mid/high stakes and personal experience at midstakes. i won't go into detail on people's exact strat but a lot of the fish crushers are doing things that are not 'public/common knowledge' yet they achieve 4%+ ev roi
