It’s really hard to play against and for certain hands that I wanted to take to flops I’d start limping or at least min opening (both very non standard but w/e).
I’d probably start with min and depending on how sb/bb react and on what sizing UTG chooses for 3b I might go to the limp.
That's an interesting idea, it's the kind of adjustment that I'm used to making in a heads up game against a very aggressive 3 bettor. But I can definitely see it having merit in this situation with the blinds being so passive.
If anyone cares, I ended up jamming the turn which I'm not sure was a good play. My thinking at the time was that I was ahead of AK/AQ/AJ/KQ a lot and wanted to get him to fold his equity, plus prevent myself from having to make a tough call on a scary river (although if he did have overcards it would have been better to flat, snap off the third barrel, and ride the variance). The other thought on my mind was that in the unlikely event he had a middle overpair like 88/99 then my best chance for fold equity would be to jam turn and hope the 4-straight would be enough to scare him off, although I'm not sure how often that bluff gets through against this particular LAG. Overall I think this was a bad bet that mostly gets calls when we're behind and folds when we're ahead.
As it turned out, he had T6s (which was probably one of the few hands that my bluff was actually optimal against, but ended up tanking for a very long time and eventually making what was a very bad call IMO. In any case, I binked the 3-outer on the river and scooped the pot after which he and a couple other players left the table.
