Does anyone understand what I mean or am I just rambling or something?
This is absolutely correct. Suppose a tight player calls a raise with 6% of hands in LP, but open raises 6% of hands in EP. The composition of each of these ranges will likely be very different. I think that some of the information in this link could help with those difficulties: http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/show...=0#Post8629256

As for OP, I'm still thinking on that one. It's obvious that there are a number of ideas that OP needs to work on like bet sizing and understanding the function of our different betting options, but I'm stuck in a bit of a "Which comes first, the chicken or the egg" type of spot in deciding how to address it. That might be a little vague, but I'll come back to this later today when I've had some time to think on it.

Congrats on applying this stuff to your game, OP. You've already taken a step that a lot of people, for whatever reason, refuse to.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
