    Default too thin vs. fish?

    i doubt he has a K, but i think it would be retarded to bet and not shove cause he has like 3/5 pb left on river. i cant remember stats cause poker ace is crapping out these days for me on 1 table, and just happened to be this table, but i know hes a fish, and to my memory, not a particularly aggro one. so im just not sure he calls with worse here, cause the board is so drawy, and some draws got completed.

    Yeah i would say this is fine. If he has the flush i think its a cooler cause his range is much wider than a flush draw. If he had more behind on the river obviously we play this differently.

    If you had better reads on the fish i think a c/c could be a lot better cause a lot of them will just bluff shove any piece on the river cause they assume you doubled with air.

    what are we beating on the turn that gives us two more streets of value?

    so I don't know what kind of fish this is so imo his range is pretty wide.

    If will gives me some stats or some reads i could tighten it up a bit.

    But really a fish can have so much random crap here I don't think this is horrible.

    check/call sucks against players like him, so check/fold and shove are the only two lines I would consider here.

    bet turn smaller?

    thats really the only solution i find for the hand. Ks is so terrible for us because it either kills our equity or our action. he'll likely call down with stuff like 33 or even a small flush now instead of raising, and if we get it all in i really dont see him showing up with anything other than 43 that we beat that often.

    i honestly dont like any line that stacks once that turn hits, and i think we can optimize vs his range if we half pot the next two streets or something.

    actually 3betting flop huge may be best.

    I think it's too thin. He might pay you off with 33/44, but that's a tiny part of his range. And because he's passive I think you can safely c/f the river.

    c/f river and i also feel you bet the turn too hard.
