Check preflop.
Your X/R-B looks okay with draw but I prefer just B33-B75 against fish.
my logic preflop is:
Im probably very often going to generate folds from hands that way better equity than mine, but this hand is probably too bad to be raising with hey??
are you using a polarized range preflop vs a limp??? what sorts of hands would you consider raising with as bluffs???
my logic for x/r is: i guess this doesn't really coordinate well with my range and most likely hits them more often. how should i construct my betting strategies in spots like that? because that is something ive been struggling with.
for example do i bet less often for a larger size??
Usually, the fish have a low limp/fold so I would avoid bluffing and isolate with a linear range.
When you play against fish you don't need to balance your ranges, just maximize your EV depending on the fish's tendencies.
With draw hand the default line is usually Bet-Bet-Fold.
But if the fish folds a lot on the flop, you can maximize your Equity + Fold Equity already on the flop with a big bet and refuse to continue bluffing on the turn and river.
i agree with fish most likely calling after limp. But is there merit to getting out of line and having some polarized bluffs and playing postflop against their capped range??
Ok yeah noted, i will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tips 😀
