I think that's a broad assumption. I think lots of fish minopens fancy suited hands thinking they're durrrr.

it wasn't 3way though

raising those hands isn't necessarily terrible, as you can see, people consider 3betting, floating with A high in this thread

flatting QJo bb/co vs a reasonable reg range will be a losing play even if you're confident in your game in my opinion

I think 3betting this hand is only good vs villains who rarely call 3bets, only 4bet or fold.

I can see villain valuebetting worse here, lower flushes, trips, AA-QQ. You shouldn't have much bdfds in your range so you having a flush is not a big concern in villain's eyes. I think it's in an easy call once we get to the river this way. 

Pre I don't like the flatting vs a 1.5bb raise, I'm more inclined to 3bet. If it's a 2bb raise then calling is better. 


On the flop, I like c/r flop lead good turns more than call flop- c/r turn, although turn c/r ranges in general are up to debate and depends on your style. 

I hate the calling pre, is it only me? 

If villain is spewy/unorthodox, he can easily have KQ or AK 

Pre size is fine. I think I would check at some point in the hand. As played I definitely fold the turn, because I can't see him bluffing enough on this board vs our percieved range, and we have a bluffcatcher. 

Problem is, fish like to talk themselves into a call here with some funky 2p  or overpair

I think 95% of his flatting range here is flush draws, maybe occasionally JT, but never a made hand like 44 or Q9s, because they would 4bet on the flop oop for sure. At this point I'd treat my hand as beat, and check back to fill up.

I bet/called in the heat of the moment figuring he would ship all his broadways and flush draws he could've ended up with here, I never imagined he is capable of just calling AK and I block KQ. It was definitely just a biased perception of his range to support my decision, but I'm still not sure whether it was good or not. He had KK btw.

making herocalls with A high against fish has never turned out to be a good idea for me, exactly because they're so random, they have so many merged shit in their range

I think both calling and 3betting vs a 60% opener is better than folding. As for the hand, by raising the turn on the blank your hand exactly looks like what it is, so any decent hand reader will call you light here. 

I think the sizing is fine. 

If we bet the flop, we have to b/f right?

You can either shove vs stations, and strenghten your c/call range OTR vs regs.

I hate the raise with a static hand like this.

Well played, villain's bluff frequency should be fairly low on this river. I fold, unless I know he is capable of bluffing boards like this.

Thanks. Later his stats correlated to typical reg stats, so he isn't a fish. He was also multi-tabling as I realized later. What would be your assumptions about his range if he is a regular for sure?
