vs. a fish, you definitely can ignore 'standard' 3betting sizes and go for $11 or $12 here, and he wont adjust when you are 3betting slightly weaker hands like AJs for $9


I see why everyone here wants to shovel the money in, its an overpair in a 3bet pot with a fish...but I'd have to evaluate how I'd seen the fishy play up to the point. Have you seen any big hands or pots that went to showdown? Without any reads I call. I'd need reasons not to call here, and I think there might be a bunch if we've gotten to see a few orbits with him and know something about him.


I see a few different types of fish, as obviously we all do to some extent. They usually fall at or between these extremes imo

type A) laggy bluffish -- Top pair or overpair = ship that in vs. them, obviously

type B) weak-passive station - Calls half the raises on the table, any 3bet you do, etc. and never really shows a lot of strength until he has a pretty good hand, at least TP. Probably not even raising draws, and almost never semibluffing with a draw in a 3b pot!


If he's closer to fish type B, I would be mucking. If he's anywhere in the middle or towards lag snapcall
