NLHE Foundations Course #04: Pre-Flop Ranges (Part 1)

one thing that came to me while doing this is the word "stealing", if he has AA on the button and raises unopened is that still termed stealing the blinds or a value raise and for this exercise does that even matter.

Villain 1
VPIP 19 PFR 13 ATS 27 FTS 75 3BET 2.5

Having played with this player alot he is generally tight but can mix it up with loose hands at times, raising from the button from known hands as wide as J4s

Range from known hands at showdown:
22+, A2s+, K8s+, Q8s+, J8s+, J4s, T8s+, T4s, 97s+ 86s+, 76s, 65s, 54s, A5o+, KTo+, QJo, T8o,

Seems to like suited hands with one high card and cards with some connectivity suited connectors and gaped connectors.


Villain 2
VPIP 15 PFR 11 ATS 40 FST 79 3BET 4.2

Villain from known hands at showdown showed a lot of Ax hands, one high card suited hands and hands with connectivity suited connectors and suited gaped conectors.

Range of :
22+, A2s+, K7s+, Q7s+, J8s+, J3s, T9s, 98s, A2o+, KTo+, QJo,

with a high ATS of 40 i feel i have left out alot of this players range here but i struggled to think as there was not more known hands at showdown,

I understand what you're getting at, but for our purposes, stealing just means that someone has open raised from the cutoff, button or small blind. This means that everyone folded to them in one of these three positions, and they decided to open raise. That's where you'll get the steal percentage in stats for database programs like PokerTracker and Hold'em Manager.

cool thanks
