I am next to act. It's a mix of tight Passives players and loose passive players behind me. The button is a TAG and probably the only player that might adjust to my increased ISO aggression against maniac.
How much should I open up my 3 bet range here given that I'm still in early position? I suspect the TAG will want to get involved on occasion and I would imagine some of the loose Passives will take three to the face as well periodically.
If he's really opening 90% and only one player might adjust, I'd be 3betting a ton. Like what I'd 3bet a 40-50% button open with, maybe a hair tighter. Once people start coldcapping KJs behind you, you can tighten up a little, but really getting this HU is such a win for you that you can take the worst of it sometimes.
