    Default Couple of deep spots

    Sanity check please.

    #1 BTN is a regular TAG whilst the CO is a drooler, he has been limp calling a load and has been isolated by the BTN or me basically every hand. He has a habit of donk leading weakish draws heads up, otherwise he´s passive, usually c/c´ing most of his range until the riv.

    #2 The villain here is more of an aggressive but bad player. He has been 3betting all over the place and didnt fold once to a 3bet himself. Postflop he likes to peel a lot, I dont think he folds bottom pair to one bet much. He also has turned a weak made hand into a bluff more than once, ie flatting two streets with a second or third pair and then mash the bet button when the river checks to him.

    #3 Villians numbers read 48/25 over a sample of 80ish hands, he´s mashing his button whenever he gets a chance. He has been 3betting me a whole lot and been calling raises a bunch, I have been rather tight.

    Against anyone half decent hand 1 is a fold, but vs a fish I guess he can be value owning himself. I would probably just call and save myself the 20$ though. Curious what other ppl think about that.

    Hand 2 I like betting the turn here to avoid having him check back a bunch of made hands. As played this is fine though and i like the turn shove.

    Hand 3 Preflop I would 4-bet to whatever amount you think villain is calling and not to some 'standard' amount. If you think that's 25$ then make it 25. Either than that this is standard.

    hand 1: I like - CO drooler has so many badly slow played A-x hands its fine AFAIC . Unlucky if he had A-7 (or even more ul if he had 4-4/7-7)

    Ravageur - do really fold here ever? what hand would a decent player have here? 4-4? and wouldn't we just ship and its a cooler?

    Hand 2. I like it.

    Hand 3. Looks good again.

    wilbur - sure villain is a fish, but he's a passive fish (as described). Using the reasoning 'oh it's a cooler if i lose' is generally a bad excuse. His river raise is also pretty damn big which for fish is generally a sign of the strength of their hand. From his perspective we should have a hand here, we bet almost full pot etc..

    With all that said it's still hard to fold a boat to a fish but this seems like one of those spots.

    hand 1 can be an easy fold against a good villain you have reads on but I neverrrr toss this verse fish, and prolly take the extra 20 on top of it...

    I bet out turn in hand 2 but only your reads can say how sure you are he bets this card

    hand 3.. nh.. works for me

    Hand 1
    Im not a big fan of flatting out of the SB with 22-66 even given the fish in the hand. But as played I don't see much reason not to bet flop?

    Hand 2
    I like your read/analysis of Vil. I think its played fine.

    Hand 3
    I think Im pretty much playing the same way as well.

    Over all looks ok to me.

    1) I don't think you can fold vs a fish especially when you know he slow plays hands to the river. I would lead the flop though, the tagg is never gonna cbet as frequently and there's plenty of value from the fish.

    2) I would make it bigger pre 9 or 10 works since he's never folding to 9 more often than 8.

    3) I would also make the 4 bet bigger pre since you are more than 200bb deep. As played I have no problem with it.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    I wouldn't raise less than 4x in an ante game. - especially when you're deep and not on the btn.
    Same reason why I don't minraise in normal games.
