:rofl::rofl::vroam:Why is fish a bad player? This is a great food caught in the water and fried on fire. The fish also has a head with eyes and even a tail. Did you know about this sensation?

I like testing mindset tells with fish When in my hands is nuts and pot is big, I play very slow time and I write to fish magic word: FISH. Next fish falls into aggression and they often give away their chips. It is worth then to write the next word to him, example: I know it that you like pay me! When fish spits on us with aggression next I write example: hihihi or hehehe. In this fish is me and he like give me their chips. I recommend playing tells mindset with fish!

Someone who limps call. Min bets continuously . Folds on the river and turn consistently. As well as someone who takes FOREVER to act. And someone who seems to be in every hand but disappears as quickly as you may have noticed them. Also someone who does not top up in cash games

A fish is a beginner or a weak player, performing many erroneous actions and as a result loses at a distance.
The concept of "fish" in poker is all relative. A plus player on the NL10 is a fish for the player on the limit NL100, etc.

A fish is a player who doesn't have an strategic understanding of the game. Of course depending on which level we are, we could be the fish to another more skilled player.
Of course the fishest of fish is the player who has never studied the game, and the term is often used o refer exclusively to this type of player. Identifying a fish is easy. If you see someone open limp the pot there's a 99.99% chance they are a fish, if you see them do it a second time then that's 100%. Someone who is playing above 40% percent of hands with 5+ players in the table is also probably a fish. Fish just doesn't know a thing about ranges, they will look at K9o and call an UTG raise, if they flop a pair they'l call it all the way down to showdown, unless the amount has become too big for them to feel comfortable. Beacuse for them it's all bout the feel. Since they lack knowledge it's all about whether they like a hand or not.
There are passive fish, aggro fish, maniacs, calling stations, they all have different tendencies, that are easyto exploit. Value bet calling tations relenlessly with you strong hands, induce aggro fish to bluff, c-bet fit or fold players, go aggro on nitty players and so on

Fish is a novice at the poker table.But in this there are advantages and disadvantages.To disadvantages: against such players it will be difficult to bluff,because with any conformity (or pocket pair) they will always call.
On the other hand by means of these players,you can easily earn real money.

(fish) - the so-called weak, bad player, who thanks to his manner of playing promises us a good profit. Fish is little or completely unfamiliar with the strategic foundations of the game and very often acts with a knowingly negative mathematical expectation, for example, trying to pull out a marginal hand by putting too much money into the bank. Often such a player is also called Moron (idiot, idiot) or Retard (brake).

I agree with this statement.
Using vpip to determine a fish is not good as it just indicates if a player is loose or aggro pre-flop.
Unless you have a few hundred hands against a player the vpip can be skewed by when you played against the villain.
