Sorry, if this one isn't entertaining, I have no real commentary, except that I don't feel like using a converter and my villain has proven a few times that his avatar is fitting: fish.

Hero (785)
Blinds at 25/50.

Hero holds A6o.

What is the best way to play this, and what is my plan in later streets?

Minraise, 100 on flop, shut down after that if you don't have anything.

If villain isn't too bluffy, you can check behind some uglier flops.

the guy is really really bad. I mean calling station and bluff idiot all the way. He won a few bs races to get like this.

I want value!

The mini-raise with total disregard to your opponent's tendencies is one of the biggest mistakes made in this forum .

I was assumimg he was more stationy than bluffy. It doesn't really change my play, though.

I really don't like making it 150 pf, because we'd be c-betting 150-200, meaning we've got almost half our stack in the pot.

Is there some other line that I'm not seeing?

Well A6 isn't very good, so you're not magically going to get a ton of value. If he's that stationy just go all in.

Im still trying to figure out why people adhere to the same strategies against different opponents. Min raising and auto-cbetting doesn't seem like the best solution every time.
