Axo and the fish

[Vee Quiva]

Many fish will call a small bet on the flop with any remote possibility of having a hand. Middle pair, bottom pair, 3 to a flush or straight. You need to keep betting if you have one or two opponents.

Now if you bet and 3 or more opponents call then you should consider checking on the next street.

The one or two times the fish has the ace does not lose you more than you can make by value betting when they call with draws and middle pair.

Yah, I see your point, but I'm pretty sure in the games I play it's +EV to fold ASAP (tend to be multiway - 4+ in).

In less family-pot games, you need to be less robotic in your folding for sure, and play as you suggest for - I dunno - say 50% of hands? (watch and know your Ace-wonders is the play here, obviously). It would be marginally +EV I'd think, and also keeps the fish fed.
