What's helps you recognise a "fish"?

#1 May 5th, 2020, 12:10 PM

Hi, guys!
Does anybody know special signs which helps you recognise a "fresh blood" in poker?
What's common newbiers mistakes allow you to recognise them?

As for me, due to my observation, the most common failures happens when player forget about position, and takes too much risk. If they got a pair of kings etc,
their brains turn off instantly. Also it can be disrespectful relation to oll-in bets.

What's your point of view?

a mirror helps me recognize a fish very well.

Takes a moment but usually I can tell who a fish is whens I see them limp way too often. Additionally if they seem to get sucked out a lot and overplay their hands.

Each player has their own concept of fish.

mistakes are known, frankly playing on freeroll tables, there are many newbies who do not know, and you as a player have to detect it, many times they want to go without having anything in order to earn their grounds, sometimes there are many different fish, some that when they see the flop they are all thrown without hands stuck, others go with the card less than the flop and go to the call, many things that are visible. !! 1

Didnt you know that the most common addage in poker is, that if you cant recognize the fish at the table, its you.

As already stated , limping or calling too much is probably the easiest giveaway.

Otherwise overbets or huge underbets without a good justification would be another sign, but you need to see some cards to see if this was warranted. That said, you occasionally see somebody bet 40 into a pot that's like 350 chips, and I can't think of any good reason for such a bet size.

When they go all in vs someone,but they are cheap leaders and they have 10%,20%,or 30% chips more.After that all in finish and they lost,next hand,they go all in again with really bad hands.This is not way to recognize a fish,this is way to see,who is bad player.

Kkkkkkkkkk damn bro, i don't know how but i'm laughing outside and crying inside. I feel you.

Answering the question. fish play a lot of hands in the early stages of tournaments and limp, make a lot of bluffs at the wrong times and place very high or very low value bets. There are several others but these are the ones I recognize for now.

The biggest indicator is when they seem to play any hand (premium or speculative) without regard to position or table dynamics the same way - passively. There is a place for passive play but not ALL the time.

First you will have to take a few minutes and observe several spots ... and if you notice any player who practically plays + 80% of the pot either doing "Limp" or "call" very often then there you have a fish ...!
