    Better late than never?

    [1] : {A2s+, A7o+, K8o+, K7s+, Q9o+, Q8s+, J9s+, 87o+, 54s+, 22+, 75s+, T7s+}
    It’s somewhat unfortunate because we have a PERFET chance to steal a whole bunch of buttons, but we can’t widen our range too much, or we’ll become extremely exploited by SB’s 3b’s (and we mainly wanna be continuing for value against his 3b’s based on his postflop reads).

    [2] : Pretty much entire range. The only part of his range that improved is 55/66/TT-QQ and the occasional 65s, 87s, T9s and JTs (but based on preflop reads, he doesn’t even always have these). Most interesting hands in our range imo are Tx and QQ-JJ. I’m pretty certain we bet everything better for value and turn everything worse into a bluff, but these hands are difficult for me. I think I would always bet QQ-JJ in practice because it protects our hand and at least gives him the opportunity to make a mistake with the occasional Tx and draw. I think AT-QT is interesting, and am pretty sure JT-T7 is a c/c.

    [3] : {As2s+, Ks7s+, Qs8s+, 5s4s+, 7s5s+, Q9, 87, 98, KQ, AQ+, 55/66/TT+, 65s, JT}
    Very thin value range, and this card isn’t an awesome card to bluff (especially because he continues with a strong range), so I’m only doing it with 8+ outs (still doing it with 8+ outs, though, ‘cause he peels flop with 77-99 sometimes and can fold T9s or the occasional ATs here).

    [4] : {JT, JJ, TT, 66, 55}
    Seriously. TBH, even 55 is close. Not even considering contuing with bluffs here since all draws missed and now the once marginal hands we might be able to get him off of have tripped up.

    I'm going to try this without reading other people's replies first.

    1 - 22+, A9o+, A4s+, K8s+ Q9s+, T9s+, J9s+, T9s, KTo+, QTo+, JTo

    2 - 55+, ATo, A4s-ATs, KTs-KJs, Q9s-QJs, J9s-JTs, T9s, KTo-KQo, QTo-QJo, JTo

    3 - 55+, ATo, A5s,-ATs, KTs-KJs, Q9s-QJs, J9s-JTs, T9s, KTo-KQo, QTo-QJo, JTo

    4 - 77-99, A5s-A6s, Q9s, KQo

    That took me so long to do, how can we tell how accurate our answer was?

    And how are we supposed to do this quickly in a game? Is it something that will come once I practice over and over?
