Playing against fishes

For some time I notice that I do best play against regular than against fishes, and lose money against these .No I explain very well why, I guess it's because his game is less standard and it costs me more to read.
My question is how you're supposed to play to beat them money?

Hi, first try to be in position of the fish, 2nd prolly bigger and more valuebetting a wider range and less bluffing in general, just need to look for their tendecies.

Hmmm
I would set mine traps for them. usually with any pocket hands try to hit set on board, if hit set, i would play limp and slow then shove on river.
Another trick is playing " Tight & agrresive, "

btw, how do you know when you playing againts fishes ?

They call way too many hands and also play too many hands, mostly they stick around postflop and have no clue of position.

I agree with Disater. I play alot of home games with different crowds (many of wich are fish) and find that you should tighten your range play more value and don't try any fancy plays. Fish, while not all fish are the same, tend to be calling stations so bluffs will only bleed your bankroll. You may think that if you tighten up and only play value hands then you wont get any action, but remember your playing against fish. They don't remember what you played and from what position and what your sizing was. They will oftentimes give you action with trash and get stacks in with a dominated hand. Playing ABC poker puts less emphasis on hand ranges which fish are really hard to put on. Hope this helped.
