If the BB is of the sticky-passive fish type (as described) I don't think stealing with low offsuit connectors is going to be very profitable (or pleasant) in this setup. Even the times you get past BTN and hu with BB you very often find yourself in a dark tunnel bluff.

depends on how low. In general you should be raising more buttons with a fishy bb even if he is loose preflop and postflop.

Yeah i also disagree with this. In general these players have tendencies which are pretty easy to identify, dont have to turn my hand into 3barrel bluffs every time, and i can valuebet to infinity.

I tried (and apparently failed) to refer to the situation OP described, not being on the button. FWIW, against a sticky-passive I'd still rather expand my button stealing range towards paint-small combos than go any lower in the connectors than 76o.

Hand against multitabling reg that used to play higher: I raise co 67s, he 3! btn, bb is superfish and coldcalls i call. T86rainbow i cr both call. Turn 7, i bet btn raise fish coldcall i call. River 8, checks around.
Btn has 55, quality? And hes a pretty big winner id assume. This is so standard spew tooFrown



meh, not that hard to come up with some scenarios where raising turn beats folding turn. (ofc calling is out the question) But with a superfish behind i dont like it that much either.

I also wouldnt c/r flop in your spot. I think this hand plays better as a bluffcatcher, but of course it is close enough to not matter that much.
