For like a year I play a homegame with some friends like twice a month. It's just a fun game with friends that hardly know any poker strategy and we only play 0.05/0.10 with 2,50 buyins. (25bb)

I'd like to see of we can come up with a good gameplan for the table. Until now I usually play relatively tight, around 30/15 (differing some IP and OOP). I feel like I can loosen up a lot preflop because postflop play is plain awfull usually, especially once stacks get around 100bb.


These are my opponents;
1) One super loose passive. He plays like 95/2 preflop. Calls flops with like an overcard or better. Checks a lot when he doesn't have anything. Greatly overvalues any made hand.
This is the huge whale on the table, he's always stuck at least 10 buyins in a short time.

2) One LAG/maniac. This guys plays like 70/40 preflop. Has no problem triple barreling with air, shoving in 200bb as a bluff, and such.
When he's on a roll, any check against him is likely couterfeited by at least 2 streets of big bets by him.
He's usually a little less bluffy against me as I have a clean image, nevertheless he bluffs way too much postflop.

3) One weak tight passive girl. Plays like 30/10 preflop. Postflop it's fit-or-fold, although she knows to cbet as the PFR because I told her. Besides that she’s very straightforward and easy to read.

4) one semi-decent TAG, relative to the others. This is the only one playing online sometimes (not much) where he is a loosing player. He probably plays something like 30/15 preflop and postflop he’s able to adapt to the players he’s in the pot.
On dry boards he’s able to bluff raise and float.
He doesn't really know about odds and implied odds, so I've seen him fold decent/good draws to big bets when he should have called.
I have a read on him that he 3bets PP’s smallish a lot preflop.


Some general table conditions;
- Appr 50% of pots are limped preflop
- All are callingstations relative to online games. Some more than others, as said.
- A 3bet is JJ+ 90% of the time.
The maniac will sometimes min3bet AQ+ and some high suited cards, but not always.
- Everybody has 3bet call of at least 2/3.
- Everybody plays their draws passively.
- We start with stacks of 25bb. As the game progresses, effective stacks vary from 20bb-500bb.
- Later on it’s possible to buy in for more than 25bb.
- I get a lot of respect, because I’m tight and because they know I know a bit about this cardgame. Nevertheless, they’re still stations in my eyes.


Some things worth to discuss imo (feel free to add):
- Profitability of opening up my preflop ranges (PFR/call/limp). Especially in the 25bb-100bb zone.
- Opening up my 3bet range a lot (for value of course). I’m particularly interested in some ranges for preflop 3betting followed by shoving missed flops, for when I’m shortstacked.
But wider 3betting ranges when deeper stacked is interesting as well. At least comment on missed flops than please, that’ll be the most common and hardest part, imo. The value spots more or less play themselves.
- Playing marginal hands like Qxs/Kxo/T8o.
