This is pretty much what I'm asking. To extract max value, how aggro does the table have to be before your sizing should be reduced to limp? There is certainly a theoretical point in which this is reached, regardless of if this dude I was playing was aggro enough to justify it. From a purely theoretical prespective, how aggro does a person on your left need to be for open limping to 100% of your playable range to be the most profitable play (and it certainly is, at some point)
Like lets say the guy to your left just ships it all in preflop every single hand unless you bet into him in which case he evaluates your range somewhat correctly and decides in a semi-reasonable way if he wants to call or shove or fold. In this scinerio, clearly the best play is to limp, lets say, for the sake of example, 100% of your range. You could limp blind every hand. You limp, he shoves, you fold. you limp, he shoves, you fold. You limp with AK, he shoves, you call. By limping every hand you force the guy who is aggro if its checked to him but reasonable if you bet into him an oppertunity to play to his tendencies which are incorrect.
I'm wondering if, in a more realisitic scinerio like the hyper aggro i played last week, If this is an optimal play, assuming he play better when facing agression then when facing passivity. i.e, he has a PFR of 75% but a 3-bet of 15%. clearly he is not nearly as aggro when facing agression from another player. He makes much more errors when it is checked or limped to him, because a 75% PFR is about x5 the average and a 15% PFR is about x2.5 the average
