Fascinating question! If I understand it correctly, you are asking if we should vary our ranges when we are playing against the same opponents over and over.

I used to think we shouldn't: that we should always just take the most profitable line in a vacuum. I changed my thinking when I started playing the same regs over and over every night in online satellites. Because I was a reg they could recognize spots where I had to fold 100% if they shoved, so they were shoving 100%. So I started throwing in some loose calls which were incorrect but close so they didn't cost me much in a vacuum. Once I started doing this, other regs suddenly realized they could no longer shove 100% as I'd sometimes make a loose call that was catastrophic for them, so the equity I lost making slightly losing calls was more than made up for in future equity. So yeah, we need to play differently against people we play over and over.

We talk about this a lot more in a section of our "Poker Satellite Strategy" book called "Adjusting for Imperfection".

Thank you for your question, hope this answered it.
