Hi I've been playing in Online 6max Microstakes Cash Games for a while now and am a winning player so far, but I've realized I don't quite understand something I've run into a few times.
I have a bunch of ranges I sort of stick to for open raising from each position, open calling, 3betting etc just because I'm new to poker in the last year and needed somewhere to start. All of these ranges assume around a standard open raise size: anywhere from 2bb to 4bb. But sometimes I'll face some guy who will open raise to like 8bb or 12bb randomly. How does this affect me and with what hands I would call with? Sure if the guy does it once in a blue moon maybe I'll play tighter.. But what if they are playing a normal preflop TAG strategy, like 22/17 VPIP/PFR except that they'll open raise to like 8bb preflop from any position?
If someone has a good explanation for how open raise sizing should affect your decision making preflop that would be great. Or if anyone knows of any good resources that explains the math behind open raise sizing in general and how it affects SPR or something that would be super helpful. I haven't been able to find any great resources so far.
