Quick Tip

Loose fish overplay too many hands preflop. Focus on isolating them in position and extracting thin value on later streets.

Key Insights

Position Matters Most

MP (direct position on fish) consistently yields the highest win rates. Being able to isolate and play in position against weak players is the biggest edge.

VPIP is Everything

A 50+ VPIP fish transforms a break-even table into a gold mine. The difference between 0-30 and 50+ VPIP fish can be 8-10 bb/100 in your win rate.

Site Selection Impact

GGPoker's higher rake creates tougher conditions overall. Even with the same fish, your baseline expected WR is ~5 bb/100 lower than PokerStars.

Pro Tip: Don't just find fish. Find loose fish and get direct position on them. A tight fish in EP is worth almost nothing. A 50+ VPIP whale makes every seat at the table profitable.
