    No hindsight for the blind.

    Had to re-check the hh to appreciate the greatness in this sentence. Too bad I don't really agree. I don't hate flatting pre to keep the fish in, planning to lead alot of flops. We can get lots of value from the fish, without worrying too much about the reg who should be playing pretty honest against our lead.

    Prolly folding turn, he has a ton of 4x in his range that feel they need to get it in asap because "omg three players and there's a flush draw AND a straight draw now!".

    I would agree about flatting hands like KK/AA some of the time, to keep the fish in.

    TT just feels waaay too vulnerable to me, to be flatting and going 3-way OOP.

    Halv all this goes out the window when you see that the fish isn't passive postflop. Also the button is an unknown, we don't know anything about his tendencies. Besides, if the button is a reg I certainly don't think we can expect him to just let us take the pot uncontested if the fish folds to your lead. I know I certainly wouldn't.

    Absolutely. We'll be put in very tough RIO spots vs these opponents who might be hard read with limited info. We'll also often not be able to win the pot with the best hand if the flop isn't favorable.
