Opponents Adjusting to big ATTSB

[elffaw]

Let's say, for hypothetical purposes, you opened 100% of your hands when folded to on the button and SB, and 66% of your hands when folded to on the cutoff.

How would your typical small stakes players adjust? Would their adjustments be correct or incorrect?

For example, someone who starts trying to bluff you out of every pot and always pays you off when you play back, refusing to believe you have a hand, would probably be an incorrect adjustment.

Any other discussion of 'inducing incorrect adjustments' is welcome here.

Too much 995 talk, bump!!

waffele

all my oppoinents are literally braindead and do not make any adjustments whatsoever. the problem is that some of the hands required to steal this much would push my vpip over the 45/29 mark which i hav efound induces the most mistakes from multi-tabling TAGs who use HUDs to substitute for READs. plus it allows me to only steal with hands that have EQUITY advantages against the BLINDs. the METAGAME benefits of having TAGs belive i am a wolverine are unbelievably inconspicuous.

Yeah, not that I'd ever advocate the OP ideas for making money, but,

I think most people overadjust in general. If I'm a 20/14 tag and I hit a good string of cards, causing me to open raise from the button, cutoff, hijack, and utg in one orbit most people go apeshit.

Or if you hit a bunch of flops in a row a lot of players think you must be bluffing and start going apeshit on the flop too.

I was just going to say, similarly, that in the games I play (5/10 now), no one seems to adjust other than to very short term occurances. If I steal blinds from the button 2 orbits in a row, I tighten up my stealing requirements slightly the next orbit. Conversely, if I’ve folded in a steal position a couple times in a row, I’ll give it a go with any two on occasion, given the right opponents.

I have yet to notice anyone adjusting to my stealing strategy over an extended number of orbits. (extended > 4)
