I was considering going for a jam preflop as the person before me typically has a capped range (limp-call). But these situations come up a lot, especially in live games. And I've gotten in sticky situations in live games where I make a stupid jam like this. So is it better to just call and play post flop, or try to pick it up pre- with a reraise?

The 4-bet pre in the blinds is by a player who is doing this a lot, so I know this isn't really a strong range.

Not sure if a 3b to a minr is the best choice, but I could be wrong on that. I think flatting is my preferred choice.

Definitely dont 4b light in position since this is how fish play their monsters and we get to see a flop cheaply and stack them every time we hit.

If the player's weak then you can 3-bet to iso but flat is fine too if you aren't going to get squeezed too often. I have no idea how you fold pre to a click back here.

I am confused, did you misclick fold pre for .25 getting crazy odds?

Bluffing fish is generally a bad idea
