€20 NLHE 6-max: Pot sized bets from unknown fish and I have a top pair with medium kicker
These pot-sized bets from random fish made me scratch my head (only six hands from him for PT stats). On the turn, there is a possible flush, but fish didn't bet. On the River he hits again the bet button, pot sized. The only thing I know he is loose and aggressive, but I have only a top pair with a medium kicker and against huge bet, I have no idea what should I do. He can have basically anything. On the river, I was afraid he slowed his flush. Probably not. Before I lost a big pot by calling a pot-sized bet on the river (another player), I still don't know the psychology of so big bets on the River, they seems like a bluff, but then I lose. This still affects me on this hand.
I played this hand yesterday, but now with a clear mind, I think I made a mistake by folding this hand. Obviously, he is a weak player, and I try to analyze his game too much by bet sizings but it seems he has no idea how to bet. What are your thoughts? Would you play this hand differently?
