For context;
Villain is 18/16 w/ 8% 3B. ATS is 30% from LP, he folds his steal to a 3B 88% of the time.
I worked villain's range out to be the following;
Stealing range; 22- AA(78), Axs(48), Axo/s(192), KTo+(48)
QTo+(32), JTo(16), KTs+(12), QTs+(8), JTs(4), T9s(4), 98s(4), 87s(4), T9o(16)
= 466
Folding Range - 22-99(48), A2s-AJs(40), A2o-AJo(160), KTo+(48), QTo+(32), JTo(16)
KTs-KQs(12), QTs-QJs(8), JTs(4), T9s(4), 98s(4), 87s(4), T9o(16), 98o(16)
412/466 = 88%
Now how do I apply this? Why have I gone through the effort of working out villain's range?
It's important to know how often your opponent is folding because this gives you information on how to bluff against him and how to structure your range in general. If you know how often he's folding, you know whether you can bluff profitably with the shortcuts I've given.
Also for the sake of this course, breaking down the ranges like this is also helping us because I'm teaching you how to train yourself to understand ranges on a more intuitive level. This takes a lot of practice, but instead of just doing endless mind-numbing practice for the sake of practice, we're targeting specific lessons with it (in this case, profitable bluffing).
