Why not just Bet-Bet-Bet against fish?


I'm just going to call and hope + pray we win at this point.


Bet flop with your value against a fish. Fish fold less than regs in this spot even though they are wider preflop (hint: we exploit this later in the game tree).


you played this in the weirdest way but okay, on this line bet river


Raise bigger Turn? I would raise atleast 4x OOP. As played would be nice to have As to block more suited A9s A5s A4s A3s. Might fold if I'm in right state of mind, maybe.Looks like A2s.


I don't really understand the reasoning of the line, but as played, I'd lean towards a river fold, but it's close because of the busted draws and his turn sizing.


X on the flop is my lazy strategy. Needs work i know. Should've XR ap

Thinking was along the lines of 'if fish over barrel flop and turn, and we're supposed to XR the street before they give up bluffing, then this is a spot to trap and own second best Ax/draw hands'.

Evidently I had no plan for the river because I panic check called. I like bet bet bet-fold though, is also easy to remember
