How do I play this table? 5 stations
My stats are covered because I don't want the topic to be derailed.
And this is the table:

Villains:
72/1
40/6
50/6
38/8
49/2
Pretty much slight variations of the same kind of station.
Super passive post-flop, calling with any draw and any pair, usually over-betting when they hit something big.
This was an extreme example, but most of my tables have 2-3 of these players.
Big money should be flowing from this kind of players, but I can't exploit them. And I fucking hate not being able to exploit them.
What I think is correct against these players:
- Widen up my opening range. Not going maniac, just opening a bit more hands. The garbage they limp with is unbelievable.
- Be ready to fold when aggro'ed by an usually passive station.
Bad stuff against these players:
- Bluffing.
- Trying to represent anything. 3bet pre and 3/4 bet on a QhJhJs flop, he calls with pocket 3s.
My biggest issues come from good hands not hitting very well on the flop.
Stuff like QK 3-betted pre hitting second pair on a draw-heavy flop.
Or pocket 9s with 1 or 2 overcards.
I know they keep calling with all sort of garbage, but I often find myself in uncomfortable spots, unable to get relevant info because they just keep c/calling.
So what do I know at this point?
If I hit a big hand, they will follow with all sort of garbage and donate big pots.
If I hit nothing, just fold.
Everything inbetween? I'm lost.
I know it's probably blasphemy, but is limping a bit more tolerable on this kind of table?
I'm not very thrilled about raising JQs 6x after 3 limpers only to get it called by both blinds and the CO and flopping A67.
