    Default Picked up on Fish's bluff tell (Genius or horrible play?)

    This fish i was playing against had a huge bluff tell that i caught onto, Everytime he would donk bet full pot he had air, However when he bet half pot or 2/3 pot he had a hand. So i used this to my advantage and tried to stack him with A-High. Either this was genius on my part of horrible play. What do you think?


    Stacks:
    UTG ($15.20) 152bb
    UTG+1 ($8.43) 84bb

    Bet sizing is a huge tell at the micros.

    If you've seen villain bet full pot and act like a maniac on a bluff, then you should go with your read with 2 high cards, however risky and stupid that feels at the time. Just be careful that even the biggest retards can adjust once they realise they've been rumbled.

    At the micros, this type of bet-size tell isn't as unusual as some may think. Once you spot someone who plays this way, It's nicely profitable to exploit it until he adapts.

    Why do you keep bluffing with the best hand?

    Basically this, I don't really understand hand 1, I can understand hand 2 because we are pretty nutted v the guys range and he might go batshit insane since we already seen him go batshit in hand 1.

    Double this.

    Dont shove the turn with the AK hand he has no chips left but always let him pull the trigger regardless, the board is super super dry. Just call, you have position, I guarantee he shoves river 100%. But good reads
