Make bigger pre-flop raises when IP versus a fish. Fish will not adjust their calling range. They will either play too straightforwardly and check/fold or make light call downs. Either way, its a win/win for us because a bigger pot size means a bigger mistake. Keep in mind that our hand is irrelevant for the most part.
Example 1: Folds to Hero OTB with J5cc. There is a 43/14 fish in the BB. Hero's raise size? At least 3bbs, anything from 3.5x-5x is good. Of course you have to keep in mind stack sizes as well.
Example 2: Hero has ATcc in CO and there is a target in the SB playing 35/22. The pre-flop raise size should be 3.5x-4x. The BTN is a 22/17 TAG but until he shows us that he is willing to make plays at us, we should isolate and play bigger pots with the fish as much as we can.
Make sure we stay consistent with the bigger raise size as this can be a big winrate boost!
