When someone tilts it's usually a good opportunity to make some money, if you don't mind the increase in variance.

This is for fullring games btw. Villain's normal game seems to be a loose almost passive. Overall stats look like
VPIP 35%
PFR 4%
TAF .44

But he does ok by mainly taking lot of flops and trapping people. Overall he probably bleeds to death, and not a winning strategy.

Anyways, so he starts tilting one day, and his stats for that day go to 45/12/.66. With a lot of 2 and 3 betting preflop and getting half his stack in preflop with any 4 cards.

2 examples below:

MP2 ($12.85)
CO ($2.35)
Button ($21.45)
SB ($25.25)
BB ($18.20)
Hero (UTG) ($29.55)
MP1 ($17.60)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8c, 9d, As, Ad
Hero raises to $0.85, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.85, CO calls $0.85, 1 fold, SB raises to $4.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $15.45, 1 fold, CO calls $1.50 (All-In), SB calls $10.95

Flop: ($34.35) 5s, 9h, Tc (3 players, 1 all-in)
SB bets $9.80 (All-In), Hero calls $9.80

Turn: Th $53.95) (3 players, 2 all-in)

River: 2c ($53.95) (3 players, 2 all-in)

BB ($3.60)
UTG ($21.60)
Hero (UTG+1) ($33.95)
MP1 ($44.75)
MP2 ($25)
CO ($10)
Button ($24.80)
SB ($4.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 2c, Ah, Ac, Kh
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75, MP2 raises to $3.35, 4 folds, Hero raises to $11.15, 1 fold, MP2 calls $7.80

Flop: ($23.40) 9h, 6d, 7c (2 players)
Hero bets $22.25, MP2 calls $13.85 (All-In)

Turn: 9c ($51.10) (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: Kc ($51.10) (2 players, 1 all-in)

Getting him to commit 50% or more of his stack when I have AAxx or AA2ss is
is good situation.

But I was wondering, if anyone starts to 3bet and isolate him more preflop with say a big pocket pair and good low say A2KK or A3QQ,

Anyone isolating with A45x hands or even less, A56x?

Or by opening up you own preflop hand ranges, do you end spewing like said villian. Any good Lagtards out there have some experience?

I prefer to just keep playing solid hands and owning him post flop when I have him drawing dead with an overpair QQ and no low against my made low. Just loosen your post flop calls a little: 2nd nut low is fine if you have some potential to beat an overpair high by the river

Of course I'm rushing in pre flop with the hands that you held, but I don't think it's profitable to isolate with marginal hands. Maybe hands like the A3QQ or something, but it's hard to think of many hands where you would deviate from "standard" too much (asusming for you that standard is to raise almost all hands you play)

Yeah. I ran some simulations of the A45x and other wheel type hands don't actually fare that well against a range of garbage.

I ended up winning 1 of the 2 hands we played together. I actually won the hand that I was not as big a favorite, almost close to a coinflip preflop.
