Ed makes mention of balancing his/villain's range when referring to his river raises and the "read" by which he makes the move on specific villains.

the light bulb kind of went on a little brighter here in regards to balancing our aggression with different hand strengths. but, its still a concept i dont apply very well.

how about a discussion on the basics of "balancing" to shed even more light on a rather complex subject?

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

let's say you continuation bet only when you flop TPGK or better. an observant opponent is going to eventually realize you have a very low continuation betting frequency and that when he calls your continuation bets and gets to showdown that you never show down a weak hand. then, he adjusts his game by folding to your continuation bets when he doesn't have a decent draw or a made hand that is somewhere higher than the bottom of your c-betting range, and taking all the small pots away when you check to him. since this range contains only legitimate made hands, it is highly unbalanced and your opponent has an easy time adjusting to and exploiting you.
