this guy is a mega fish, i thught i had K9, time to go take a nap i guess.. (river i saw the mistake i made and bluffed him out)

Lol I like how you say K-9 like it justifys opening that UTG+1

nah dude i said i had K9 cause of double barrel flop/turn, then i noticed i had K high on river, i dont think its a bad raise utg+1 with a maniac fish in the table and nitty buttons..

Ah well it helps justify the flop and turn bets, but the raise is still pretty loose UTG+1. I prefer abusing fish in position with hands like this as opposed to playing oop, but only if the fish has shown a tendency to fold to too many cbets. If he is the typical fish that overvalues his top pairs and plays too many hands, you are playing incorrectly against him.

kid seems like a calling station... i wouldnt do this against those types :o

I understand that, but there are still 4 other people at the table. Can we justify opening this light(even though we thought our hand was K-9s) to iso the fish if we have to counterbalance all the times we play vs the other 3 players with a weak hand? Especially a fish that appears to be favoring calling a lot more than folding

much rather raise something like T9s than K8s. although K8s does have valuetown value vs fish. just kinda depends what kinda fish he is
