idk anything you feel you profit with, depends on fish's post game
I'd prob 3b broadways for value, not really worried he's positionally aware unless proven

Whats his cbet tenancies? we can call with lots of stuff if he is weak tight post flop. Also who is in the blinds? Will we get squeezed?

i am not calling a lot, basically all PP i dont 3bet.

maybe, because he opened to 2bb, you can flat some higher SCs, Axs but i am not a big fan. you either need to hit or have fold equity, and with a calling station fold equity is reduced and hitting hard is tough. if he is passive and doesnt barrel or minbets you can flat wider, you get more cards cheaper.

i am not calling when he opens to 3bb. i just tend not to have a calling range vs fish beside PP, i most of the time 3B or fold. this guy is also the best example to 3bet super wide in position.

but interested to hear other opinions.

^I generally do the same unless he's very passive post and pays off light or always slowplays big hands so I get the odds to draw with SCs, AXs. also blinds must not be squeeze happy, and I'd prefer to have one more fish behind

all pairs we're not 3betting, probs 78s-QJs, QJo, KJo, KQo, ATo, A2s-A5s/ATs somewhere like that

maybe not 3betting some hands others might aswell, stylistic i guess

so if were flatting SC's its just to try and hit some sort of draw and stack them ideally?

SCs especially lower ones work best with initiative and FE i.e. semi-bluffing
I'd only call these if fish is passive (you get odds to draw, can c/ flop and turns or he usually bets small) and doesnt like folding, obv, so you're not only drawing to direct odds but implied ones

Super wide it should be extremley profitable playing a fish in position with a huge range of hands. Use poker stove and put in his opening range for him. You dont have to hit to win this pot.

As we don't know the villains post flop tendencies i.e - does he fold alot of cbet, does he donk then fold to a raise etc.

I would treat his min bet as a limp and iso him with good SDV hands.

If you whiff the flop check down your A, K highs. I wouldn't play SC's.

basically, yes

you just need pay attention not to play the draws to aggressive. might sound stupid, but even when you have a monster (NFD+overcard+bottom pair), fish like to call the flop with TP, they will also not fold turn, but your equity on turn sucks.

also, fishes bet sizing sucks - so you can go to river more cheaply more often.

vs a 3bb open i tend to have no calling range at all, i just need to fold so often that it really starts hurting.
