I wasn't necessarily saying that a significant portion of that range should be an open fold, but a lot of it he would be limping since every pot is going to go multiway regardless, initiative wasn't very important at this table, and building pots when you wanted to was not difficult.
Agreed. At this table I would open 88 or 99+, ATs or AJs+, and maybe KJs/QJs but those are more for bingo purposes. Most of the hands GTO mentioned would be a limp/call so I could benefit from relative position at a loose call happy table, while others would simply be a fold in EP (56s).
MABG started the hand with $225. Bad rec (BTN) had about $700 effective vs. Dizzy and unknown rec had around $300-400 I believe. I was fairly new to the table.
I think I may have actually been UTG and not UTG+1 which gives me an even tighter open range. I'm fairly confident Dizzy knew my c-bet range to be ~99+ and a handful of NFD's.
So Dizzy knows my range here, I know his range and how he plays a lot of it
in different spots vs. different (less multiway) people, and now have to decide if he is exploiting/leveling me and/or isolating MABG. He knows I have virtually no calling range on this flop, and while I know the BTN is wide enough pre to not deter a profitable semi-bluff from myself, I'm not sure if Dizzy feels the same. I also have no read on SB other than first impression and not recognizing him as a reg, though he may have one from his longer time at the table.
I am checking flop, most of the time I am c/c unless the action goes raise->reraise
