Ivd recently switched too playing on a much softer regional site however am having some trouble.

The players are really quite bad but I am unsure on correct adjustment here. Villains tend to construct very equity based ranges even in spots where it is correct to play polarized. They will bet good hands , strong draws and some marginal hands clearly not good enough to bet. They do not bet airballs at all.

I feel like I am getting owned when I continue my pure bluffcatchers and my draws by the thinner value bets. I can potentially adopt a strategy with very aggressive raising but am unsure on confidence of this line and am potentially still not going thin enough as I am worried about being called and not knowing if I can bet OTR.

Feels like I can't meet MDF which is infuriating against weaker players especially when I am playing wider than i should be preflop. Any advice?

If they are never bluffing and are betting linearly, fold all the pure bluffcatchers, fast-play nutted hands, call strong draws for implied odds and attack their checking range. Forget MDF, just overfold.

Why don't you just fold then?

I'm reluctant to overfold because they have very high frequencies in these lines. They bet every top pair+ and a lot of 2nd pairs

It is similar on river. They bet way too weak and never bluff. So if I am sitting with a weak 2 pair which should be behind all his value but occasionally somebody shows up with a worse hand for value for some reason I feel bad folding. Raising also doesn't help too much as they call reasonably for the ranges they are bettign

And how is calling going to do anything about it?

You should overfold, wait for them to check and turn up the heat
