What is a Fish?

[macmuckalot]

We have all taken a bad beat and said "that guy played that hand like a fish!"....What is a fish?...Is it someone who plays alot of hands hoping to hit a flop?....Well, that can't be true since i have seen Daniel Negreanu play ALOT of hands...Is it someone calling a minimum raise hoping to hit their miracle card?.....trying to hit a miracle card is ok if you have the right odds or implied odds ...but i dont think we would be a fish....I think a fish will call huge raises not knowing he is behind...He will call an all-in with pocket 3's with a flop of A-K-Q..I believe a fish will call whatever raise in his big blind because he has a "defend my big blind at all costs" attitude...That is my opinion....What do you think?

a fish is basically someone who relys on a card to come out t make his draw or trips and does it alot

[scientist456]

A fish is some1 who has few outs and does not really know his chances are small, e.g. an inside straightdraw, and he calls a 2x potsized bet

I think that a fish is also someone who thinks he can play poker very good but looses everytime.

Theres different kind of fishes. Theres those that will chase a hand simple becus they got a high card A, or a small pocket for that matter, and theres those that will milk u out knowing they sit on a good hand.

The best fishes will sit on a 10 9 hand, hit the flop 7-J-8, and just check it all the way in, hoping someone has picked up pairs or trips, then when they raise, they can do their thing.
