Ok, this is really good.
I've read Renton's ABCD theorem several times, and read through HHs posted in some ABCD examples thread somewhere, but I'm fully aware that the significance of it hasn't sunk it and perhaps this hand is helping a little bit.
I'm going to try to create ABCD ranges on the flop. Please bear with me as I may be so badly off as for it to be lol.
On Renton's ABCD Theorem post, he happens to have a hand as an example with exactly the same board, AJ8 rainbow, and his A range actually includes AK/AQ. However, he was the pre-flop bettor. I understand that my actions on previous streets manipulate my range. Is this why I can't include AK/AQ in my A range? Obviously being OOP changes the specific actions on a hand but does it change my ranges?
A: nut hands that we bet aggressively for value:
{AA,JJ,88,AJ,A8}
B: hands with good showdown value that we check call for pot control and deception:
{KK,QQ,Ax,Jx}
C: hands we check fold:
{TT-77,8x}
D: air we might sometimes bet as a bluff and continue if we improve
{gutshots,air,etc}
I was planning on doing this again for the turn, but this took about half an hour already (lol) so I'll wait until someone can correct/validate these and I'll take a shot at the turn ranges after.
edit: Just one question in order to formulate the turn sub ranges properly. Since currently we are on range B, we are check calling flop. Will the strong Ax in our range, say AK-AQ move down to range C on turn? If not, do they on the river? Isn't check calling all three streets just being a station?
Thanks again guys.
