PLO5 Adjusting to Recreational player Deep

Hi guys, i faced some situations playing Deep +200BB against recreational Players, basically i struggle and i overfold maybe hands that should call or raise. Is good to tight up when playing so deep vs a recreational player?
Thnx

yes and no


Post some hands...


Interesting question. I think in general, the deeper you get the looser you can get preflop. Hands that have nut potential, like suited aces go up in value, as you get deeper, whereas high card hands have value the shorter you are... Be careful with hands with reverse implied odds, like bottom set... Post you still want to be tight... Do you have any idea why you're tightening up? Afraid of playing big pots without the goods?


Preflop play tighter ranges ,Loosen up in position .
Post flop you will need to gamble more and loosen up to avoid throwing equity, but as you're going in with tighter ranges preflop , you will probably be OK even without strong hits .

you need more equity to stack off on flops for example, because the SPRs are going to be higher when deeper


I think a lot of the question is based on playing recreational players (vs. regs) as opposed to being deep, but playing them when you are deep -- do you call more often, raise more often, etc., because they are bad and overvalue weak hands, etc., but I could be wrong.

Yes you're right , but their ranges are going to be weaker then expected from regs in this scenarios .
