    A range becomes polarized when very few hands can be bet profitably for value. I dont care if villains range is the same as mine, i just care if their calling range is wide enough for me to bet several hands for value.

    Srry just saw ur response.

    We wont be betting polarized if he calls wide. Otherwise our betting range is monsters and bluffs.

    Notice even if villain folds 95% which causes us to bet a huge range we are still polarized because our betting range will consist of only our very nut hands and bluffs.

    If he's folding 95%, why not just bet your entire range?

    Because some hands will still be more +EV to check with than to bet with.
