    Yeah i figured fit or fold is typically the best method against these players just needed to verify i wasn't spazzing out. On a side note. What exactly do these players think about when they play? I see so much random nonsense that i can't comprehend what goes through their heads.

    e.g. I 3bet 60/47 CO from BTN with AKs. Flop AK3 rainbow. He checks, i bet 2/3 pot, he calls, turn 2, he min bets, i raise pot, he shoves, i call, he shows K9. This was full stacks. I just can't understand why they do this lol. Not that i'm complaining.

    We all started as ignorant babies, who barely understood the rules and had a pathetic strategy. We saw only our own cards and... WE HAS A PAIR OF KINGS!!!! ALL-IN, ALL-IN, ALL-IN!!!!

    By playing fit-or-fold, we present ourselves as exploitable. When we 3-bet our 88 pre-flop, then fold when the flop comes AKT villain is thinking, "Ha, I knew you were bluffing!" We know it's all a set-up for when we get in there and connect. We folded other pots when they were small, and induced our villain to bluff big. When we connect, we win the big pots.

    Yeah that really helps. I just need to adjust my mindset. I forget to recognise that a lot of these loose players think beyond their own holdings into why i'm calling/raising them postflop.
