Poker New Years Resolution Leak #1
Before we get all of these going I would like everyone to understand one thing: as a group we are only as smart as our dumbest member. Some of the concepts/ideas that are discussed may seem unbelievably boring/easy/redundant to you; however, I can assure you that someone will need to hear them.
The number #1 leak that was constantly being repeated was a lack of being able to put our opponents on a range. There were many other important leaks, however, I feel a lot of them could be solved by improving our hand-reading skills.
I believe a lot of you can read hands, yet you lack the actual process or discipline to work through a hand range on each and every hand. Therefore, instead of posting 10 hand histories and having you tell me what someone's range is, I'm going to hopefully help you create a process that is simple and one that can be applied to each and every hand you play.
Step #1
First we must start with an entire hand range. If you do not have pokerstove or a pokerstove-like program here is what 100% of hands appear to be:
22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q2s+,J2s+,T2s+,92s+,82s+,72s+,62s+,5 2s+,42s+,32s,A2o+,K2o+,Q2o+,J2o+,T2o+,92o+,82o+,72 o+,62o+,52o+,42o+,32o
This is our initial working base. You do not have to memorize this range, just realize how wide/big it is and realize that it will take work to narrow it down to a tight range.
Step #2 coming soon to a Beg. Circle near you...
