Taking a fish to value town (3 hands)
These 3 hands are all against the same fish. His VPIP was well over 80% and he was quite often taking weak hands way too far. He'd usually donk the flop if he flopped a pair, and quite often he'd do the same when he had nothing. Here are 3 thin value bets I made against him, thoughts on my play on all 3 hands?
