I ask this question because I tend to play against fish in fairly obvious ways, which is pretty much what everyone tells you to do. But there are certain things that seem so obvious that I wonder if fish pick up on them. For example, betting big when I have top pair or better, and betting only half pot or less when I miss. Or always raising the turn with 2-pair or better. Or only 3-betting more than 3x when I have a heavy value hand. Things like this.

Na true fish dont care about sizings. They only look at their own hand strength.

They sometimes even start thinking ur bluffing when you bet bigger...

They have basically no idea, and even if they think about it their fishiness stops them from making correct decisions.

Define fish.

If someone limps pre when they should be raising or folding, does that mean I can overbet 5x pot with TPTK and expect to get paid with TPTK? Lol no.

My thoughts exactly. In some respects everyone who grinds NL10 is a fish in much the same way as most of players at NL100 would be perceived as fish by high stakes players.

For the most part the weaker players at NL10 aren't going to pick up on bet sizing patterns. They'r level one players. If your literally playing in as mechanical and predictable a manner as you'v described in the op [e.g 'always raising 2 pair ott] then even the worst players should be recognising patterns eventually.

You can sometimes, but you would just accomplish more by betting multiple streets since then you will get paid by weaker hands as well as top pair, and you get more info about the strength of their hand.

I think people tend to underestimate fishes ability to adjust. Do we really expect all fishes to be calling superwide against big river bets when regs are very rarely bluffing?

Just pay attention to how often fishes fold when you pot or overbet your value hands. When they call with a "crappy hand" you have to keep in mind their range is a lot weaker than a reg's so that doesn't necessarily means they are overcalling.
