Shove it, no reason to mess about.

Since he has fishy stats, maybe bet closer to pot on previous streets.

His stats mean squadouche in all reality. I think his range is Kx,busted FD,MAYBE a 7 if he called with a s.c. type hand, he only has about a pot size bet left in his stack, I would go for around 3-3.50 and pray he calls. He's almost never calling a jam, unless he has exactly a 7, or some weak shit like K7s or something stupid. Take it to value town and pray he looks you up. Just my deuce.

Not at all. The odds of someone playing 4/6 hands being a splashy fish is much higher than them being a reg, especially if hero's been playing these limits for a while and has a decent sample on the regs.

I'd go on that assumption and do what david said.

Shove, the range he'll call a smaller bet with will also call a shove like 95% of the time; he has Kx, 7x or JT way more often than a FD or AT/AJ type hands.
Playing big pots at small stakes.

$2.10 on turn, you made a big mistake there
pot or 3-button-theory on river

Thanks for the replies.

@daven - I agree that my big mistake was too small on the turn. Didn't want to scare him away but really if he was calling 1.8 he would have likely called 2-2.10ish and that would have set up a better bet sizing opportunity on the river.

Exactly. I said not to jam cuz it would be a slight overbet to his stack size. Had you bet more on the turn then jamming the river wouldn't look so bad, and it would keep him from thinking " hey I might be beat here" and mucking a hand that should of paid you off. Hence the "value bet of 1/2 his stack on river" I previously posted.

bet more on turn; as played it doesn't really matter that it's a slight overbet, shoving is still way better than 1/2 psb

As d0zer already said, that is not true and there is a higher likelihood of him being a fish than a tight reg. The key word here is likelihood.

I you are interested in a mathematical proof, see here:

For the record I bet the river $4.50 and villain folded. I can only figure he's probably a d donkey drawing with a FD or maybe AJ.

Pot pot shove against an unknown fishy looking guy.

You need plan your bet sizing for future streets.
