A
range refers to the possible hands an opponent could hold. The easiest way to understand what it means is to describe it using preflop play, even though it applies
post flop as
well.
When we are acting preflop, we have 3 actions. We can
fold,
call, or
raise. Since there are 1326 different combinations of hands, and only 3 actions, then it is clear that we take the same
action with many different hands. The
set of hands that we take each
action with, is defined as our
range.
Example: My opening range from UTG FR is approximately {99+, AQ+}.
