Villain is a regular, because as you can see, I'm shot taking at this limit and already got 800 hands on the guy; he's at all 4 of my tables. Before anyone says move table/change position, there were two huge fishy types to my right. Besides which, I figure I need to start dealing with this regular and his rather predictable tendencies.
First thing... he 3bets
llllllight from the BTN, and because I'm sure I've seen him pot it before now (that would make it a 3bet of $5 not $4.50) I wonder if the fact that he made it $4.50 in this case is a 'tell' in itself? Anyway, the real question here is MY bet sizing. What I'm trying to do is risk the least (I'm not going with my 4s to a shove or a 5bet obv), while getting the desired result (a fold). Looks like I got it here, but what do you others think? Looking at his fold to 3bet stats he is quite binary when it comes to decisions (i.e. I wasn't expecting a call).
I also noticed that he stopped 3 betting me from then on. Maybe he's made a note of it?
Anyone else have much experience at exploiting mass multitabling regs with stand out tendencies? I mean, is it worth analysing this guy further in my db on HEM, and if so, what would I look for? I checked him out on PTR and he has over 700k hands at 50NL and a graph that goes down, but not so much that he doesn't at least BE on bonuses. What I'm trying to say is... it appears as though he's not very good, but not a standard recreational 'fish' either.
