PF decisions vs robotically tight opponents

What range do you put somebody who raies 1.5% of the time on? Pokerstove says the top 1.5% of hands is QQ+. Even if we add AK to the mix we still only have a 36% equity against his range.

1.) monster hand, multiway pot, position

2.) monster hand, position

3.) slightly less than monster hand POSITION

4.) marginal hand, tight opponent leads, I'll grudgingly fold, although if I had more people in the pot i'd play

5.) 88 I play for set value, which I'm not getting

6.) KJos we're behind more than we're ahead

it's certainly a good thing that holdem isn't played with just two cards or else I'd be screwed. We're giving up wayyyyy to much value folding these hands, our investment of 1-2 SB here and there gets us so many more BB over the long run depending how the hand plays out. C'mon guys...

If you are only going to play hands that those guys aren't in you should be switching tables.

If there are only 1 or 2 of those at a FR table, you're not going to be involved in many hands with them.

Plus you can still play when they limp, or when they raise and you have QQ+, and maybe AK, or the pot is developing favourably (AQs hand, for example).

to NK: position is more important in NL than limit... not saying it's not important, though.

Now I've put out my answers as best I can so far... but they're not gospel truth or anything like that, so if a few more people add their answers to this we can hash out where there's disagreement.

I mention position because it looks like these guys are awful postflop. If we're acting after them then we have an advantage. Weak-tight is not the answer, guys...

I think its even better to call with non-dominated hands that with AQs, which is getting CRUSHED versus their range. Folding for the win! These nits are paying their blinds, like everybody else and that is where you get them

225 minus is far too small a sample size to be folding hands like 1010, AQs and AKo against this kind of betting. In fact I wouldn't be folding them regardless of pre-flop raise stats unless I had positive reads to the effect that these guys would limp hands like AK, KQ, AJ, AQ, etc. I am really surprised that so many people are prepared to throw away these hands on the basis of such tenuous "reads".
