Hi guys
I was thinking about those problems quite a long time but I couldn't find a adequate solutions…

How would you adapt your opening range in the follow situations (100BB effective stack, fish = loose passive player, all other positions play solid poker nothing out of line):
- We are in the CO and the BU is a fish. Should we go looser (try to isolate the fish with a raise) or should we go tighter (because the BU will flat call a ton of hands and give the blinds a good opportunity to see the flop for a better price or 3betting more to extract more value)?
- We are in the BU and in the SB is a fish. Should we increase our open-raise range (to isolate the fish) or our open-limp range (to see with more hands a flop)? And how would you adjust when the Fish is in the BB (any difference)?
- At the end a general question: If we are sitting on a table full of fishes how would you adjust our opening ranges in the different positions? My idea:
EP: tighter than my standard opening (because they will flat a ton of hands and we often have to play postflop in a multiway pot OOP with a too wide range)
MP, HJ, CO: tighter than my standard opening but adapting not so strong than in EP
BU, SB: looser (because we want to increase our chance to play IP against 1 or 2 fishes to abstract money postflop)

Thank you for any answer

I try to play laggier than everyone else regardless of who is at the table. When shorter, 20bb-ish, I still try to play looser than everyone, but I'll obv. adjust more if players are 3betting light, have reshove stacks, etc. I want fish to call me wide (esp. when deep), regardless of position bc we'll have a big edge postflop.

I've been playing some mtts and a lot of 180 turbos on Stars lately and even the best regs are really tight, with maybe 3-5 exceptions that come to mind. My advice is to up your RFI from every position as much as you can get away with. People are overfolding their blinds (and most positions) in low stakes, so attack IMO.

Why are you asking the same question in two different forums?

The difficult part of your strategy is to go not too much out of line but if it works for you I should consider also to play a more aggressive style hahaha
