Adjustments to Villians Calling 80-100% of Preflop Raises Adjustments to Villians Calling 80-100% of Preflop Raises

Let me know if this belongs in the beginner section.

I'm opening my button around 90% of the time, but against villains who call ~90% of the time, and rarely fold to C-Bets, it seems like I'm in a tough position a lot of the time with hands like Q2, 105, J4, etc.

I realize I should bet for thin value and get to showdown with Ace high etc., but how do you guys adjust preflop? It seems like it would make sense to slightly tighten up (open ~60%?) so you have more equity against them, as you are rarely winning with fold equity without multiple barrels. Would it make sense to limp the bottom ~20% of your range as you have almost no fold equity? That seems too transparent to even bad players though.



Thanks for any ideas.

Start limping more, if he continues wide vs m/r those hands are pointless as they don't fold equity share. If you think he's catching up that your limping range is weak add some middling pps for a start.

Limp weaker hands. If he's really braindead just swap to 3x good hands and limp weaker holdings.
