I think R is fairly easy to approximate for hands which flop polarized equity. Unfortunately, in NLHE the only hands that flop truly polarized equity are 22-55. Those hands realize 90% of their equity from sets, and its just matter of how many bets you expect will go in when you hit one. I think finding the R for hands like those has something to teach us about other less-polarized equity distribution hands, though, as the amount they will win when flopping trips, straight, whatever is comparable to the value of a flopped set. You then have a significant piece of the R puzzle figured out for all hands.
This is all extremely Theoryland shit that probably has no business in a beginner's circle thread though.
