15% is probably about right UTG 7-handed. All of those hands would be terrible to 3bet from any position against such a tight range. They are also too weak to open vs. a LJ. Cold-calling is even more terrible with LAGs behind you. They are exactly the type of player who will punish you the most for cold-calling trashy hands.

i dont think trying to find spots to play HU vs a TAG's strong range is a good idea

I'm not looking for spots to play against TAG's, I'm looking for the appropriate hands to play against them.

How does this range look assuming TAG opens UTG 7 handed and we are next to act?

3 bet

88+....Maybe 77's
AJo+
ATs+
KQs+

20/40 7 handed time game.

Folded to me on the button. Both the SB and BB are super loose. The SB has a 3 bet range but often just calls...He called once with AKo. The BB has a 3 and 4 bet range in this scenario. The SB plays fairly straightforward post flop. The BB is very sticky and loves him some semi bluffs. Neither will donk flops.

In general I want to play hands against these two in position but I feel like maybe chopping off some of my range would be good.

Let me know if you would open these from the button.

6c8c
Kc5c
Q7o
98o

Yes

id fold AJo

fold Q7o. i dunno about 98o. if i didnt feel confident id fold.

should open any suited queen or jack

You fold q7 but open j2s?

Tightening up makes no sense against these players. It's true that we have less fold equity than normal. But we still get to play in position 100% of the time against bad players. The only time to tighten up would be against excellent players or reasonably good LAGs who 3bet a ton. All of those hands are opens. I open K5s in the HJ, 86s in the CO, 87o on the btn, and Q7o is the bottom of my btn range. It's strange that you are including K5s in the list, as it is way stronger than Q7o or 98o.

I'm not sure why I included K5s. I usually open it in the CO.

I do open all those hands but have been running bad in this spot. Just checking to see if maybe I needed to dial it back.

I saw it mentioned that solvers open 27% in the HJ. I see K5s is in this range. Is this a situations where a solver is going to play perfectly post flop so it can play this many hands? You play better than I so you can open this many hands. I feel like I would get in trouble playing this many hands. The games I play in are extremely aggressive. I see some extremely laggy players do very well in these games but I also see some more tight TAGs also do well.

How low are you going with your suited gappers on the button? It seems at some point you are going to be taking the worse of it with 35s or 57s type hands.

Lets say it's folded to you in the HJ. The blinds are not very good TAG/fish regs. The CO and button are somewhat loose but will get out of a way of a raise.

How low are you going with pairs?

How low are you going with Axo?

I think I open all pairs and all suited aces. aT

J2s is better

44 and A7

should add the K5s and 86s are no-brainer opens, not sure why you are even asking. you must be running really bad.

suited kings are underrated

K5s in the HJ is the bottom of my suited kings range. I was mainly making the point that it is a significant winner from the BTN and CO in all situations. I open 64s on the BTN, but only open 53s in excellent conditions (supernit or loose-passive BB).

22 and A7o

8 handed game currently 7 handed. Game features two good pros, one reasonable TAG, 3 awful loose passives and one LAG.

Reasonable TAG opens UTG, two loose passives cold call, there is another loose passive in the BB who is probably calling 80% either 2 or 3 bets. Good pro is in the SB with KQo and….?

Call.

I call too

I would also call with the brick wall of call in the BB.

So the solid pro three bet and then bet into the field on a A97r flop. Seems pretty bad, no?

seems terribad.

In the CO. Utg+1 and mp limp. Both loose passive preflop. What is our raising + limping range here. What if there were three limpers?

I think I would go wide here , especially if they are big street spewy.
