Adjusting the game against recreational vs. regular: what changes for you?

[lapgame]

I realize that, depending on the opponent's profile, some lines that work against recreational players can go wrong against experienced regs - and vice versa.


What adaptations do you make when you identify that the table has a lot of recreational (calling stations, passive players) compared to when it is filled with solid regulars?

• Do you expand or tighten the open range?
• Do the size of the bets or the frequency of bluffs change?
• Do you prefer a more balanced style (GTO) against regs and more explorative against recreational?

Share practical examples or quick tips on how to adjust the game plan according to the table profile. I want to better understand how to take advantage of the weaknesses of each type of opponent without being predictable.

I might be biased, but we are in the middle of a series of learning topics on ranges and position, and we talk about rec players and how to widen your range. Check it out and see if it helps you --> CardsChat Learning Poker Thread Series Guide
