fish who think "my pair/ 2pair must be good" basically they are pretty passive. if they continually check to me i am betting top pair on all streets for close to pot. if they show any aggression then i need a hand, if i have the nuts/ effective nuts then i am essentially making ridiculous overbets to stack them. basically playing transparent because it doesnt matter to a fish.
vs people who think "i wonder what he has based on his actions", im going to mis represent my hand sometimes based on what i think he has. its not something you can do all the time though because that would quickly become apparent if you played every hand the opposite of how strong it is.
people who try to put you on a range i guess are the best example of this. is hard to make an example off the top of my head but something like this:
say cut off opens and i call on the button with 88.
flop comes T83. villain cbets..
now, villain knows that the only strong hand i can have are... 88/ T8 suited/ 33 because TT+ i would 3bet pre flop versus cut off open (in fact i probably 3bet 33 too)
so therefore my value range is really narrow, and most of what im raising with here contains like a bunch of QJ/ J9/ complete air type hands. so hes never folding top pair or an overpair.
if i call instead, the turn comes like a 9, he bets again and i raise, he can probably get away from most overpairs and basically all his top pair hands because my value range has suddenly got a lot stronger.
so idea is that you try and work out what your actions will look like to the opposing player and what he will put you on when you make a specific play (regs are always trying to work out what u have based on your actions)
