The fish is one who has significant predicability in their playstyle.Hi!
Recreational Poker Player here, the title pretty much says it all.
I'm a very strong LAG player and plan to take this playstyle as I rise the ranks. LAG doesn't imply fish at all. I like to make my opponents never quite know what a raise means with me or know my exact range I (of course) am tighter early and looser late but by HOW MUCH? No one can tell except me.It's usually easy to spot the sucker, you watch the game play for a while, make notes on their hand ranges and betting habits, once you have them profiled usually as a LAG or passive call station (ATMs), isolate, trap them and bet for value, then take the poor devil to the cleaners.
You are joking but new player asking question won't know you are joking... Stop to mislead them.fish is a player who stole your BB, or trying to do this.
fish is a player who beat you, ..... stop, its a donk who cant play just more lucky.
fish is a player who hits one of his 2 outs on river.
fish is a player who very often go all in, no matter what he/she had AA or 72.
in general FISH is everyone who is not PRO. (who is not Phil Hellmuth)
Enjoy!
a shark player could easy be a fish also but vice-versa doesn't work ... you have to play a good range of hands to stay covered and to know when to stop... otherwise when you will raise with AA after 10 times you did it before with suited connectors you will trap somebody ... this is the perfect style.

You will find both tight fish and loose fish, the shark is one who just as easily can betting a big size to get you off the hand as they could to be making you pay them off by calling.
Understand that the shark acts to make you act, the fish acts simply to impulse.
are you saying I should observe their play style first because most of the good players they change gears often and is it that fish don't change their play style and that is how you gonna exploit or whatever you call them.
