Default Game/ seat selecting plus strategy

Situtation is this..

You are normally playing 1/2 and sometimes 2/4, but found a 3/6 table with these guys on it:

On your left is a complete drooler. Something like a 75/20/1. On his left is a guy that plays almost the same. As an added bonus he loves the minreraise PF. They both call almost any flopbet. They fold to turnbets a little bit more, but won't fold any draw.

The other 3 players are probably regs, they seem to be playing a good TAG game islotaing the droolers.

Do you sit at this table? Remember, you will only have position on both when you are on the button.

What would your strategy be? Which hands would you play PF?

That's really bad advice imo. If you play 2/4 you should be semi-confortable with 3/6. Just play how you would play if these same "droolers" were at 1/2 with you and everything else was the exact same. You have 100BB's, think of it in terms of BB and not money.

lol woops, for some reason I thought we were playing alot above our normal game.

Anywayz yeh i'd obviously tighten up a bit, because these droolers will smash you in position if you dont have a hand. But other than that yeh, just play your game, it aint too different

Can you go into a bit more detail what you PF strategy would look like?

Something I found to be extremely troublesome was the fact that it was usually raised in front of me by one of the regs and I had to reraise my better hands, forcing the droolers out of the pot most of the time.

Like I said, just play like you would play at 1/2 with the same table conditions. Also, you're either overthinking this or not thinking at all. Just play your A game and hope they get top pair or w/e against your set/overpair.

Thats my question.

That's what I'm saying lol. Just play your game, don't adjust for them. Like if you play 17/14, play that. If you play 26/22 play that. I would actually play looser from the CO and Button especially cause you have position on these guys and you know they'll call with all random crap. But don't bluff them too much, good way to bleed away money.

Also, what Bombay are you talking about?

Not adjusting? Thats some of the worst advice iv seriously ever heard. Poker is about adjusting to ur opponents, not just playing the same style against every opponent. To think that doing this is a good idea is retarded imo.

As they have position, u really need to tighten your LP opening range if they are playing 70~ vpip. you're not taking the pot down enough pf to use ur 200nl opening range. On top of this when they do call pf, they're calling any c-bet you make apparently, so unless u are going to commit to firing 2 barrels postflop in HU situations then i think tightening ur pf range is fairly standard.

I think when ur on the button/CO u can widen ur opening range again but certainly not as far as 200nl.
