    Against quite a few players I'm letting this go as I don't think I'm often good, but I just see his stats and think I can't fold this. Is this wrong?

    I'm really struggling playing hands like this OOP. It feels so passive pre but I hate 3betting and missing the flop as checking just turns our hand face up and a loose player like this floats us a lot and then I'm really lost on the turn.

    Really don't know why I played the rest of the hand so passively. I think I'm scared of getting raised with TP OOP.

    Should I be folding the river given his bet sizing? I called because of his stats but..... meh. Thoughts?

    KK hand - Crappy spot really. Tough to fold vs such a fish, but at the same time he's giong to show up with more 999/T9/79 than most other ppl.

    AK hand - hand is played fine, I would lead the river, he's not going ot be bluffing that often after he checks the turn.

    If we 3bet pre though and cbet flop and turn are we likely to fold UTG out with his weak ace at some stage before he binks his 2pair.
