So what's the most profitable strategy we can adopt in this situation ?

My current strategy vs reg on the BB with 20bbs effective, consists in having a shoving range (with middlish strenght hands) a polirized raising range (im either gonna have a good hand willing to call a shove or a trash hand not good enough to shove) and a folding range. It currently doesnt include limping (I use it vs fish, i think vs a reg it's going to be hard to balance everything out).

now, with this current strategy, these are my ranges:

-raising range ( TT+, AJ+ for the raise calling part of range( i know it seems too tight, and prolly it is, but otherwise im afraid to be too “light” on the shoving range), what about the raise folding part ? are hands like K2 Q2 J2 (ie weak blockers) the best type of hand to raise fold ? or should i just use trash hands ?

-shoving range ( something like: connectors 65s+, one gapers: 97s+ two gapers J8s+, all broadways, AT- , 99-, is this too tight ?) 

-folding range (42 62 72 93 94 etcetc)

It seems to me that “my” strategy works best against an opponent who is never going to call my raise and is always either shoving or folding…Unfortunately I dont think this is how most regs are gonna play unfortunately so what’s a more ” optimal ” strategy ?  Am i worrying too much about being balanced ? Should I keep using this strategy or should i change it ? If so what should i be doing differently?
 

 

thanks to whoever may join this discussion =)

You will still have 19.5 BBs if you fold, wait for a better spot 😉

I think you should be raise-calling more hands for value. You don't have to worry about protecting your shoving range, because most of your shoves should be unexploitable anyway. If you jam 22, for instance, it's going to be +EV whether or not you are also jamming AT.

Take a look at hands that you think will shove over a small raise but fold if you shove. Then consider hands that have really good equity against that range, those are all good raise-call candidates. Some of it will be stuff that might surprise you a little, like KTo maybe seems like a hand where you'd want fold equity but since no one is folding anything with good equity to a shove anyway you'd rather induce shoves from like K5 and T8.
