    They are still folding the blinds fairly often, so I would continue to open a wide range on the button. However, I would drop the worst hands from my range. I would widen my 4bet value range a lot and increase my 4bet sizing to deter them from just flatting 4bets.
    What are your thoughts on just 4bet shoving 100bbs to avoid making a mistake postflop and guaranteeing ourselves a showdown? I think that would be okay with hands like AQ and 99.

    Are they 5bet shoving or 5betting small? If they are 5betting small enough, we could add a 6bet bluffing range.

    Because they are 3betting and going crazy postflop, I would just flat their 3bets with my premium hands to trap.

    Given this:

    Versus 4bets they spazz 5bet air a lot, sometimes cold call the 4bets, and rarely fold.
    I don't see why we should flat our premiums. Very aggressive (I assume) doesn't mean they're going to be auto-spewing tons of boards or anything, but we do know that they rarely fold to 4bets so I think 4betting our premiums is required.

    I wanna merge our 4b/calling range a bunch & tighten up our opening range to mostly hands we wanna continue to a 3b with. Call 3bets with the range below our 4b/calling range and chop off the dogshit part of our opening range. That should work until they adjust to the fact that we're like never 4b/folding, but if they're anything like most multi-tabling regs, this adjustment will be slow so we should be able to get away with this for quite a while.
