Re: Stud 8 position
 

It seems to me that fishy players are (1) more difficult to manipulate than stronger players, and (2) they are harder to read than stronger players (because their hand ranges are wider); and so there is more to be gained by simply knowing what the fishy player has done. I would rather have the fishy player to my right than to my left.

BINGO

Very fishy fish are harder to play against then people believe, in part because you not only usually need the best hand but you cannot defend against someone drawing out on you.
TT if there is only one fish in your game then you need to find a different table.
