    Default BTN open vs Fish & Aggro TAG

    Something to think about if anyone is interested.

    SB is 70/60 over some small sample
    BB is 19/14, 15.4% 3bet, 54% fold2steal & 43% resteal in the BB over a few hundred hands

    Stacks:
    UTG Player4 ($2.47) 124bb
    UTG+1 Player5 ($2.07) 104bb
    CO Player6 ($1.53) 77bb
    BTN Hero ($4.44) 222bb
    SB Player2 ($3.12) 156bb
    BB Player3 ($4.99) 250bb

    Pre-Flop: ($0.03, 6 players) Hero is BTN X X
    3 folds, Hero raises to $?,

    What's your range here, sizing?

    1 fold, Player3 raises to $0.20

    What do you do here with that range, inc sizing?

    sb is calling pretty wide and I'm not expecting him to fold his bottom pair to flop cbet, so I'm raising pretty wide a looking for three streets of value from top pair hands and better, with maybe a street or two with 2nd pair type hands.

    22+ 78s+ Jxs+ Ax TJo+, that seems plenty.

    Entire range x3.5 at 2nl

    edit - I just saw bb's 3bet rate. Hmm I prob tighten up. I'm only gonna raise what I don't mind calling or 4betting.

    That's a pretty insane 3-bet percentage. It's almost to a point where you should never open a hand that intends to fold to a reraise.

    I'd probably do the following:

    1) Open ATo+ KJo+ QJo 22+ 54s+ 86s+ J8s+ K9s+ A2s+, 21.6% of all hands, never folding to 3-bets. You can probably 4-bet and get in all the pocket pairs and AQ+ vs his insane range. Open for like 4x probably.

    2) Open limp A2o+ K8o+ Q9o+ 87o+ 64s+ 85s+, and any suited J, Q, or K, 23.8% of all hand. These should all be profitable to play on the button vs a fish. If you're uncomfortable with some of these, just fold them or raise/fold them, it doesn't much matter. At least half of these hands will be able to comfortably call a raise from the BB in order to play a 3 way pot vs the donk in position.

    Openlimping playable hands is actually a pretty good adjustment here.

    This is the exact adjustment I make when playing these types headsup so yeah, works for me.
