What’s your go-to move vs deep-stack fish?

[Vovk]

I love to sloplay monsters when they keep pitting against me. What is your strategy when you have a 200bb depth stack against a sludge-passive opponent?

 

[rsparente]

I play aggressively. If with a hand that beats his range.

 

[choprav]

If they like to whale it off I bet big then act like I missed and let them bluff me and call and bet the river. If they call everything and chase everything I bet big and let them call me to try and get whatever rubbish they are chasing with crap odds

If the fish is passive, it's a mistake to slowplay. Only do it if he is aggressive - preferably a maniac.

So value bet often and thin against a passive player (unless they are so weak that they are fit and fold early).

 

[martDdart]

Get the fish as fast as possible.

Bullet and bullet nonstop!

If they are too passive, I will play more hands against them. When I hit, I will play aggressively and bet bigger and bigger. If I don't hit, I let it go and try for a better spot.

Play passive against aggressive players and aggressive against passive players. But stay within bounds, don't go overboard.

I don't mind playing like a calling station if villain is just gonna bet for me.

Also use your own table image against them. This all depends on individual villain tendencies and board texture.

Playing against fish with an internal poker stack requires patience and adaptation. The key is to take your time, wait for independent hands and use aggression to maximize profits when appropriate.
