Are there any generalities on what the typical fish has to cause him/her to go all in preflop, especially when under a buck. I figure its usually Arag or KK- cause they would be afraid of aces, kings etc if its a good pocket pair. Has anyone been involved in a significant amount of these hands to see what the fish had?

That could be the vaguest question in FTR history.
Just playing to improve.

Fish are not smart- that is why they are...fish. They do not think rational.

They will do it when:

They have lost a couple of big hands

Rationale: 1) Its my turn to win, 2) I want to quickly win back what I lost.

They believe that someone has bluffed them off a hand

Rationale:

1) I will show them what a bluff really is. 2) I will not be bullied!

They are on a losing streak, bad negative variance

Rationale:

1) I have lost so much, what does another buy-in matter now?

2) My luck is bound to turn around- now!

3) Poker is rigged. I have lost with Aces and Kings, maybe I will win if I play those crappy cards myself?

Hard for me to think like a fish, but maybe they think along these lines??

I am bored, lets shove since no-one can call because it's so strong!!!11!!

I have 2 cards, one of them is higher than a 3, and BOTH of them have pretty hearts, awesomeo-shove!

Damn, gotta get the clothes out of the tumble dryer soon or else they will get stale and i'll have to put them back in the washer for another spin, which will cost more than the amount of money i have in front of me on this pokkker table, i shove!

Well blow me down, this guy 3bet preflop, wtf he is fuuuulllll of it, i've got Q6 so he can barely even have a better hand, lets see him call this off! achahachchahcha shovel!

Jesus fucking christ this dick has raised 3 times in the last 3 orbits, let's see how this flop hating cuntscrubber deals with the ultimate act of aggression! CALL MY SHOVE RAPEFACE.

I was goofing around tonight at 6max micro tables - I'm normally always a SNG player.
I watched a guy go in on the first hand I sat down - got called, flipped the winner, Q8. He was stealing blinds (3 cents) with his $1.80 or whatever shove.
I decided I would be happy to sit at his table and ravage his stack. Unfortunately I made him overpay ridiculous amounts on two hands and got hammered by the poker gods on both. Apparently it was his turn to win?
