Rock · $1/$2 live
The rock who hasn't played a hand in two hours and suddenly open-raises has exactly what you think they have. Fold everything that isn't a premium.
Why they do it
Rocks at $1/$2 are not bored. They are not tilting into a spewy phase. When they finally raise, they've been waiting for that hand. Their open-raising range after long stretches of folding is basically KK+ and AK. Occasionally QQ.
The adjustment
If you have JJ or AQ, you're probably in a tough spot. If you have anything less, just fold. The one time you try to float them you'll be shown aces.
What it's worth
Calling or 3-betting a rock's rare open with a speculative hand costs you significant EV. Folding correctly saves $40-80 every time this spot comes up.
