Default Re: How would you adjust?

Why would you tighten up? When people play badly, they are converting marginal hands into winners, not losers.

This is not always true. if the mistake being made is overbetting on early streets, they're ELIMINATING your implied odds, meaning that marginal hands LOSE value, but big made hands increase in value.

First, the OP said there was a lot of limping, straddling, etc. That doesn't mean there was a lot of raising. In fact, it suggests there was less.

Second, it is not marginal hands in particular which lose value when there are large raises and overbets on early streets, it is speculative hands which lose value. A marginal speculative hand may lose value, but not because it is marginal.
