Something I’ve been experimenting with lately has been really opening my range with recreationals in the blinds, and I’m curious how far some of y’all take this.

If the rec is in the Bb rather than the SB, I will go harder, and if there are two in the blinds, I will go hardest trying to isolate them.

This may mean opening K8s/K7s from MP. Typically sticking to hands like this, but not going with the lower ones like K3s basically thinking having a 3 in hand isn’t that great.

I play mostly 300-500nl live, and 50nl online currently. I make this adjustment quite a lot online, and maybe it’s good because I don’t think people 3b me enough online(maybe I’m wrong).

In live however, I don’t typically open this wide, even though people aren’t 3betting much at all(literally in my games they 3b like JJ+, no AK)... but they do cold call a lot even vs 5-6x opens, so in this case I mostly just play pretty nitty and wait for big hands to bomb it and get loads of action.

I’m not really sure if I’m overdoing it by opening this wide, or if this would be considered standard by some.

I know this is super broad topic, but I guess the premise of my question is, how far do you push trying to isolate recreationals? Especially in games with a lot of regs, where most of your profit is coming from said recreationals.
