$5/$5 at Crown Melbourne 9-handed. This particular hand did not have a $10 straddle, but every other hand did, so perhaps that influenced preflop raise sizing.

Fish (CO) - 30s Asian guy. Seems a bit loose/fishy relative to the other players, but I haven't been at the table long enough to say this with certainty. $1500 stack.

Kid (SB) - Mid 20s Asian guy. Looks like an online reg and seems to be a decent player. $1000 stack.

Fish tank folds

Can anyone explain this hand to me? I thought the kid would have a range of approximately {JJ+, AQ+} when he 3bet pre but then this play just seems so inconsistent with that range of hands... and do you think the fish folded a pair?

Kid probably had a2s

Agreed...if he is an internet kid and balances a 3 bet bluffing range.A-2 suites is in there.He could also have 99 or Aq-AK of the backside suit.

decent players don't take this line as a bluff vs a fish
