How do you guys think about adjustments and especially what is your thoughts about the adjustment skills of different types of villains?

Like if you are playing against someone that has played very tight, now has a bit shallower stack and 3bets you for the first time. How many times do you let him 3bet you before you think he has changed (because of stacks or irritation of being pounded on maybe) and you re adjust?

Im playing in the micros btw.

IMO I'm not butting heads with a tight player who is short stacked and starts acting up with a 3! Unless of course I'm sitting on premium. I usually respect a tight players 3! range. I'll wait for someone at the table to get involved with him and evaluate off what see at showdown. All in my humble opinion though.

waiting for others to get involved with your opponent on a heads up table might take a while, though

Fantastically true=)

OK, but for how long are you respecting him? How many times do you let him 3bet you before you think that he is making moves against you?

Result wise I seem to adjust to soon, expecting villain to losen up after I have been pounding on him for a while.. Often times Im the aggressive one in a match and after a while I expect villain to be fed up with me and make a move, so when he 3bets me from the bb I think he does it with a wide range and I end up reshoveing or something like that, just to see him show up with the nuts...

Vs. a short stack who 3b a lot limp buttons and keep a high spr as possible. Also, if you call 3b with your mathematically sound call 3b range it doesn't matter how many times in a row you fold he's not exploiting you. I think you can call even narrower because your implied odds are so much less due to short stack. A mix of limping, and only opening a range you can call a 3b, will get you there. Most shorties won't play perfectly vs you. They rely on you getting frustrated and spewing way too light.

I've got a video I made on adjusting to different villains in HU NL, i also did one specifically on beating up on maniacs that actually gets into the over all adjustments that make the most sense vs a variety of player types.
Go to Youtube and look for Navonod on NLH; playing the player or, prob better yet (more recent video) Naavonod on NLH adjusting to loose aggression

In general, though, using Bayesian math is the best way to make adjustments.

look up Bayes theorem maybe or google; NLH Bayesian adjustments?? see if that gets you anywhere. But if you don't wanna read then i like to think i did a pretty good job of creating a conceptual framework for adjusting to the different archetypal villains.

It's a line, I call it.. well, actually, if you care enough to read my go on about the way I think you ought to adjust then maybe just check out my youtube vids on adjusting to villains.

This. In a nutshell, with each 3 bet you opponent further pigeon holes himself as an aggressive player. You gotta weigh the chances that he's getting good hands and act accordingly.
