FISH>>> This player is loose and many-times plays aggressive + he loves to bluffs A LOT . His style is more then an unprofitable playing style. This is a very weak player and you should be searching for tables where are more than one fishes....This is a great place to play and win money
A fish is not aggressive.
What you have referred to is called a donk.
Fish is ATC but plays it passively and a donk is ATC and plays it aggressively. That is the difference between a fish and a donk
If I am not correct, I will eat my beanie

OK, I am reading this thread while playing 02/05 on Bovada. I get A-9 in late position and raise to .25. Three guys call. The last guy to call had a 2-3 spades. Flop comes up A-K-5 with one spade. Checks all around. Turn comes up 9 of spades, giving me two pair. I bet $1.00. First guy calls, next guy folds, 2-3 calls. Of course, turn comes up Queen of spades and he hits his flush. Unbelievable. Classic definition of a fish play. He had no guarantees to win even if he hit the flush with a 2-3. Called a 3x BB raise with three other callers with a 3-2 suited and then hit the flush. And I'm sure he went around thinking he was God's gift to poker when he hit that. And then, to top it all off, he cashed out immediately afterwards. So not only did I get beaten by a fish, but then he ratholed me.

Judging from the responses in this thread a fish is aggressive and not aggressive, passive and not passive, always calling with any draw and/or always calling with any pair... in other words there is no widely accepted definition for the term "fish".
A fish is whatever you want him to be.

according to my holdem indicator, a fish is someone who voluntarily puts money in the pot more than 33%... so they are seeing lots of flops likely with 'any 2' cards. It also says they are not very aggressive but passively make very loose calls! I call them moneymakers!

Lol awesome answer. It took me a very long time to realize I was a fish and start to change it.

This is more about being the 58th person to post a "bad beat" today than of showing off "fish play".
Please let this be a lesson to each and every one of you... no one cares what flavor of beat you took. I'm new to this place but am a poker forum veteran with five-figures worth of posts over the last ten years... please get it through your heads because the sheer volume of penny players ranting about losing a dollar is ridiculous.
Are you people after a pat on the back or what?

A fish is a player who puts money into a pot when he knows he is behind, hoping that he'll hit the card on the river he needs. Fish will play about any 2 suited or connected pocket cards, will hold onto a low or mid pair even though there are several over cards on the board and people are betting, all in the hopes that the river card will give him a set/flush so that he can win the hand. In other words, these guys play a lot of -EV hands and wonder why they keep coming out behind.
