How to adjust my play when 200+bb

When playing 200+bb in 6-max and HU, I want to know what adjustments that I need make.

6-max: Should I be 3-betting with a tighter range and flatting more in position?

HU: I feel that once I'm above doubled from my opponent, they become 4-bet shove happy.
Also, when you're winning how long do you play with a that opponent before you call it quits?

mainly i think we have to 3bet more ip with suited hands specially Axs + we have to call more 3bet ip with suited hands specually AXs
OOP we sould be tighter
and we should also flat more hands to the 2nde nut flush like Kxs and suited connectors

stack off range pre and post should get tighter

overall it really depends on how opponent is play that said i like to 3B more in position on deep stacks as long as they aren't 4B crazy

i keep playing as long as i think i have an edge and am feeling focused

If opponents are 4 bet shoving on you when you're 100bb deep then you just need to make sure you're 3 betting a range that isn't too bluff heavy and perhaps make some lighter calls. If they're doing it at 200bb deep then you can probably wait for a hand to catch them. At 200bb deep they're risking so much to win so little that it needs to work a ton of the time.

When playing 200+ bb deep , position becomes a much larger factor than when <100bb deep. I try and play very aggressively in position when deep and more passively oop.

Attacking good textures with a range that includes value and bluffs (100bb its often better to disguise your value range by calling flops + turns and letting villain barrel off, also its unlikely they ever fold much of their value range 100-150bb deep to a flop raise and turn riv barrel as they'll usually just rip it in over your raise) but when 200+ effective raising flop and barreling turn + riv becomes much much more powerful with bluffs and will often get a fold by the river.

Oop with KK on 79J facing a flop raise and turn+ riv shuv is going to be tough proposition for most thinking opponents to call down. to balance this i will take the same approach with my strong value range and nutted hands. Often opponents adjust to this strong aggression by chkcalling too much oop, this is great b/c i don't have to deal with as many of their bluffs and can play in position against a range weighted towards value. Obviously its very dependent on the opponent and dynamics that are currently in the game.

As far as adjustments 3Bing a wider value range in position is definitely one adjustment and tightening up my oop offsuit 3B ranges often flatting hands like AQo and even AKo versus very good aggressive opponents who can apply maximum pressure on tough board runouts.

I also open up my high card suited 3B range to include a lot of AXs and KXs b/c the value of having hands that dominate the often suited defending ranges that occur when playing deep (you see people defend as weak as 53s 250bb deep which is imo a pretty bad proposition). Also people attack toned flops a bunch when deep, which is ideal if we have the had they are repping more often, theres so much to deep play i could go on allday but its already tl, dr :)

^^^ should add the KK is an extreme example and shouldn't be taken by you as "oh i'm gonna raise the next nits CB on that texture and unload the clip" Its just meant to demonstrate the power of the play.
