Question about opening size UTG
Hey.
So I'm facing a problem here. I play in games where 3betting is fairly present in terms of 2-3 regs at a 6-max table having 3b ratios of 8-12%. So the dilemma I'm having is whether to start opening 2.5x UTG or 4bet more.
Since their frequencies are on the bigger side I could use MDF or even an exploitable approach with 4betting. Also they are probably not polar in too many spots which I heard could be exploited by 4betting even more liberally. Is this true?
My presumption is also that at 10nl those people CC 4bets slightly more. What could be the adjustment to that?
So the question is whether not to reward 3betting by toning down my sizing (which in turn I would have to counter by calling more 3bets) or 4bet more weaker hands playing potentially OOP vs callers
Post your thoughts on any of these Q's bellow :)

If your UTG opens are getting 3 bet a bunch, the first adjustment that I'd look at making would be to tighten up my opening range.
But let's say I'm playing a tight range already (11-12%) what would be the next step? Seems like playing more hands that are +EV instead of changing the sizing would be slightly better.
Also another question I had was regrding opens was when I play on a fishy table and I want to exploit the fish I have an option of widening my range or increase my open to 4x. Which should be prioritized. Seems like doing both wouldn't be acceptable because as far as my understanding goes bigger sizing prompts tighter range (the case here is an exception because of exploitation)
Thanks for your initial reply
It seems like if you're only opening 11-12% UTG and getting 3 bet a ton then they should just be running into the nuts way too often to get away with their strategy.
