It's a 1/1 game and the villain has hero covered. Hero has 425 bb's, that means the guy and most likely the rest of that table has more, maybe 600 to 800+ bb's.
When the stacks get that deep, the blinds are really meaningless. It's like the 1/3 MTSG at TS, the blinds are 1/3 but several ppl have $5/6/7K+ in front of them.
You wouldnt look at it that way? Well it is that way. Youre telling me how many BBs deep they are, so we are talking about depth in relation to big blinds but not sizing?
If the standard raise size at a 2/5 game was $75, and i was 425 bbs deep ($2125), the correct adjustment is not “only 3 bet with aces or kings”. The goal is to make as much money as possible in relation to time. The most profitable line to take is the one that is most EV+ against their range, and if they have a standard range, you can 3 bet a range thats linear and is ahead of their range. The same would be true if there were no blinds at all. You would also be opening to $75 yourself with a range that you can play profitably against your opponents calling ranges (which may be on the tighter side)
You have basically no reason to ever call preflop, because theres effectively no pot odds. (Contrary to the fish logic that incorrectly says “you should always call when it goes 7 ways because of pit odds”, the blinds are what actually gives pot odds to call, NOT live money voluntarily invested)

And it honestly shouldnt be hard to be an action player at these types of games, but the action should be 3 betting, not calling, and should be against the worst players at the table.
