    I mean.. even if there was no fish in the hand, we have a hand that we can profitably set hunt vs a tight nit range. So having the fish in the hand just makes it all the more likely we stack someone when we do hit a set.

    I would call, and donk to iso fish on favorable boards (low boards) for our hand. If we get heat from HJ just drop it.

    Just because someone is nitty doesn't mean they we are going to stack them every time we hit a set. If HJ is competent post flop I still think it's awkward.

    No, but it does significantly increase the chance that we do stack them (or at least play a big pot) because so much of his range will be able to continue when we do hit a set. We're getting 40:1 implied odds on his stack here _and_ there's a fish coming along.

    I expect the nit to play very straightforwardly if it goes multiway as well.

    Most nits at these stakes are bad and will stack foolishly. They are also incredibly straightforward postflop so we shouldn't be particularly worried about playing postflop against them, even OOP as long as we don't plan on paying off nits.. Fish are even worse and we want to play as many pots with them as possible. This isn't a fold vs basically anyone.

    22-55 is more interesting but I still think those are calls because of the fullstacked fish in the pot + the added implied odds from a 3-way.

    I agree, but we're not calling a 3b here with 10x effective or something to set mine.

    We are calling 0.67 with 24ish behind, so getting 36x effective, and hitting a set 10% of the time. This realllly isn't even close. Folding here is a disaster imo.
