Raising Pre with fish
Hello Everyone,
Lately i have been playing free rolls to try and build more of a bankroll and iv struggled to understand the point in my raising up. say for instant i have aj and a fish raises 8x pre, the flop comes 3 8 2, and his going aggresive still, and he does this with most hands because his a fish whats the point in me raising and how am i meant to have a clue on his range?? because once somone raise 300 on 10/20 blinds and had a3 off, so if his doing it with that how can i have any clue of what he has? also with fish when i raise with good hands and miss there gonna still keep betting so i will lose my raise money, would maybe another option be to limp and then hit them once iv hit, to avoid watsing money with raises.......whats ur views?

all in or fold
works for me
hmm maybe the all in is best but do i really wanna risk all my stack and let a fish hit his card and think he has done well? i dont care about the freeroll i mainly play them to try new things, and if i have bannkroll i hardly play them but this just made me think. Its not even like i can play a hand without them involved because they go in for everything. Maybe the best way is just going overly aggresive when youve hit, thanks for the advice everyone
When i look back i should of raised flop or turn to see how guniene he was, but the point im making is why should i of raised pre? 3x raise and he calls with 83 if he dont fold that he wont fold anything, plus the other player who folded.....tell me he had a worse hand. how can i predict he has an 8 unless its a pair
'Fish' a poker term for a player that calls raises on each street to hit a drawing hand. Hardly offensive is it!
