Questions About Big Slick On A Missed Flop

So you have a clearer idea of your villains actions.

Your guy raises from UTG+1 so and has fairly tight stats, not super nit though. His raising range is probably something like 99+ AQ+. You have seen him fold to 3bets so his calling range for your raise is JJ+ AK maybe. Also, while a flat is posssible we can assume this player would have 4bet AA/KK.

So our range is JJ, QQ, AK.

This was extremely helpful. So thank-you. I am trying to assess ranges, something which I wasn't doing well in the past, and seeing the process spelled out like this really helps. I think the process may have clicked together a bit more for me now.

no worries, I don't claim to be good at myself, its not easy to learn as there are so many variables. Things change dramatically with differences in player tendencies. This hand was an easy one because we see 2 actions preflop from a player who's style can be pigeon holed pretty easily.
