Raise a bit bigger. I don't know what buttons aggfreq was, or how often he raised, but I would generally say that when we get raised by a loose-passive fish we should be folding. Definitely would not suggest going for thin value against him...expecting him to show up with Q/better kicker

I'd probably check pre, Q8s is a little loose OOP...I'd raise him on BTN with it all day.

As played, it's pretty good IMO.

I was on SB, BB was a nit, yeah I agree it's a bit loose. The flop is so dry that it just looks like a bluff, on river I tried to go for a blocking bet as well as thin value bet.

well I dunno... I mean, on the one hand conventional wisdom is that when fish raise it's the nuts but also my experience at 4NL is fish spaz a lot when they're super shortstacked like that (possibly out of desperation). I've seen them get stacks in with random air lol.

So not sure what to say about flop. Frankly though I think vs button limp by fish raising Q8s is fine. TPMK is gonna be good a ton, plus we draw to the 3rd nuts once in a while.

i honestly think this looks fine. river size is fine cause its a super thin v-bet so i might even just x/call.

pre i make bigger though if were just trying to take it down.
