What hand does the fish have?
 

Villian is top 10 bad. This is my expression for really horrible players that I usually feel bad for. He calls with nearly any hand pre-flop no matter what action or raises are after him. I didn't really have a read on him that well at this point, I just noticed that he was pretty loose and passive. He ended up buring through 5 buy-ins before he left, but after this hand I was raising my big hands much larger pre-flop and still getting him to call (he did finally catch one 2-3 buyins later). Any ways, win the most when ahead/lose least when behind. It's really tough to get much action with flopped trip aces, unless you are behind. That being said, I would have bet more on the flop if I had a better read at this point. Otherwise I like the flop bet agaisnt most opponents here. What hands other than Ax are calling me here? (or flopped set).

I raise his weak ass blocking bet on the river. The rest looks good but maybe I raise more preflop, like 7$, but im just nitpicking.

Plz respond to the other thread, lets make the bet!

hell no, this is a nonthinking villan. Let him get half stack in here, rest on river.

Re: What hand does the fish have?

Agreed. And I would usually stick the rest in on the river here, but something smelt a bit fishy. No pun intended. Well maybe.

I later learned that villian would bet small and hope people would come over the top with his made hands, and just call the raises.

Re: What hand does the fish have?
 

yes, but to fish, "made hands" includes TPTK, 2-pair, and better

Ok, I probably shouldn't have added all my later reads to this hand.

Let's say villian is somewhat resonable. Do you still think a PSB on flop is ideal? If villian is maniac or aggresive, I'd over bet pot here, but against most opponents, you're not getting much action.

Re: What hand does the fish have?
 

if they call 6, they call 8. bigger bets on earlier streets inflate the pot as bets multiply into a lot bigger pots later on, especially multiway
