Whale fishing

Hey, tighten up your game a bit, but not too much. Still, play hands like Jack-Ten suited or better to see the flop. And when you hit a top pair, top kicker or better, be ready to get aggressive, whether it's betting big or going all-in

You'll be playing with a low SPR, so you should avoid hands that rely heavily on implied odds. Instead, focus on hands with high raw equity like big pairs and high cards.
 
Ah, the game of poker, where we're all just trying to plug those leaky holes in our strategies! If your opponent's RFI game is as obvious as a sore thumb, well, it's time to poke that thumb! Throw in those 3-bets like confetti at a celebration. And if their post-flop play is about as graceful as a bull in a china shop, well, you better make sure they're in as many SRP as possible! Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all solution in poker - it's a game of adapting, adjusting, and, of course, exploiting those leaks like a seasoned plumber!

One thing to consider before labeling someone a whale is to do a sanity check. I've been guilty of quickly assigning such labels, so it's worth noting. It's possible he's just running hot. Hyper-aggressive whales can be dangerous when they're on a streak.
I prefer to play solid and observe. Stick to a fundamentally sound strategy to avoid being exploited and pay close attention to everything. You might pick up valuable information from showdowns, and correlate his demeanor with his confidence in his cards. If he's consistently folding to 3-bets, you can widen your 3-bet range to isolate and capitalize on his mistakes, but be mindful of other players noticing this pattern.
