Playing the 10/25 buying in 3-4k you have just over 100BBs. You shouldn't feel uncomfortable playing with 100BBs, but I do think you should play tighter and concentrate on betting the top 5% of your hands. It sounds like your play is -EV given that "He opened quite wide, 3bet squeezed frequent enoug
h, CR'ed flops with all draws and made hands, had a merged range for his pot size value bets, sometimes flat-calls multiple streets with huge hands as well as floats, bluff-catches light against polarized bets, etc." So bottom line he is out playing you plus he has position and you are folding more hands. Also the fact is his stack is at 50K so playing against your stack with any good draw he will try to bet you out of the pot. Generally speaking playing OOP especially against LAG I just check/check-raise in order to get position and first look to gain more information rather than worry about losing value on my hands since his range is so much higher than yours is (given the stack size its standard). You definitely to need to change game plans playing in this game because players like the ones you mentioned will be common in a 10/25NLH game.
