What is a good strategy for playing against fish that have no clue about pot odds, get married to there Ax hands or any face card hands, and bet like psycos with nothing. I mean i can play against these guys, but how do you deal with it when they always hit. For example a hand today in NL i have an AK with a pair of A on the flop and another guy was on a flush draw or so i thought, and he bets 1/3 pot say 300 into a 1000 and i raise to 3000 he raises all in for 5000 and i call. He flips QTo with a Q of clubs hits runner clubs to win.

True enough, just seems they hit ever time for the last month or two. I probably should take a break for a while.

Fish are so frustrating because you never know where you are at in the hand and it is really difficult to place them on a hand. I like many others used to think playing against better players I'd do better, that is simply not the case.

You'll miss those guys calling you down with bottom pair and hitting two pair on the river, when they aren't around trust me.

Also always be nice to them

yeah, i hate this kinda shit from the fishes.. especially if its in a tourney.. and they bust u out of the tourney like that by hitting and outdrawing you...
in a cash game im ok with it.. cuz i kno i can easily get my money back (plus more) from them in less than 100 hands..

but its the absolute worst when its a tourney situation, and they bust u out of it.

Oh, I was afraid it was just me. I played against a full table of people like, they always hit post flop for a long streak. I'd lost about 70% of my stack, but finally started making it back up.

I think this is my problem, an example would be a PF raise with AKs followed by a flop of A22 and the guy keeps calling my raises to flip A2o on the river. How do i put him on that hand?
