so we talk about it implicitly, but not explicitly

Not sure if you've heard of the names/definitions before, I have them from improva's book (the poker puzzle). It more or less means elastic ranges are ranges that are related by the size of the bet and inelastic range are not. (i.e. the ranges we get called by)

It's not black and white in that any range is either elastic or inelastic, but it's usualy more or less elastic. In theory ranges should be very elastic, but in practice they aren't.
It also changes when stakes go up, but generally certain board textures come with a certain degree of (in)elastic ranges.

The elasticity of a range has great impact on our valuebetting and bluffing ranges and betsizing.

Imo it's and interesting subject, something not often talked/written about in a direct way.

I wrote something on c/r the river instead.

Don't worry though, I made 13 buy ins today, so only 22 more and I'll be gone.
