Lastly, since we are targetting the fish, should i purposely expand my range vs him or continue to play normal. I mean, when im playing a lot of table, I often start letting go of the suited connectors etc. Should I do that? Or should I play those like proper poker?
Basically what Im trying to say is playing those suited connectors etc seem to be a -ev move vs the regs on the tabel. Every time I start playing proper poker at the micros I always get in trouble with the regs because as I am often one of them I know they are always on average getting into the pot with a better hand. So, I dont know I get confused with him to exploit the fish on the table without compromising myself vs the regs, because if im playing 4 tables, I do start end up playing hands like 78s etc.
First of all, disclaimer that I play Omaha. I am not the best source for Hold'em advice and not familiar with the player pool at your limit.
That being out of the way it seems like you don't have a very concrete game plan. My suggestion is that you work out some general strategy before you get in the grind so you don't get lost in questions like you have about suited connectors. The best FREE advice I would recommend is Doug Polk's YouTube videos. I have personally learned quite a bit and think they can help you get some very good ideas about how to approach the game correctly.
About table selection:
Quit tables with just regs, no point for the reasons I stated.
It's very important that you have position on the fish so value it! If you are directly to the left of a fish you're better off than if there are 2 mediocre fish that are to your direct left. Obviously the answer is always "it depends " but I'm giving you general ideas not step by step print money plan.
Concerning game type: pick the one you like the most and if you like something equally do the research whether it will be more worth it to invest time and resources towards improving your game there. Are the games stable, will you find action moving up, how small is the edge when you get to a meaningful stake etc. Right now this is a big deal as poker is getting tougher you really have to know where you stand to build your bankroll. A while ago it was ok to play abc and win enough, now it's not.
The question about suited connectors was specific so I will address it but I stand my point that you should create a game plan and try to answer those questions in whatever way makes the most sense. Just don't leave them unanswered because you will never develop as a player then. Suited connectors play very well and HU will do okay, in position they will do even better. Take advantage of what your opponent's range is and look for holes (does his value bet make sense, does he have what he says he does in his street by street range, can I make him fold his overpair on a board that favours me heavily etc.)
Hope this helps and if there's anything else feel free to ask.
