OK, here’s an idea, let’s look at this from a different perspective, this will certainly help me.
Below is a hand from a table I’ve been sitting at for 10 or maybe 15 hands. No reads yet. I am not involved in the hand, but we get some info on a player. And on the strength of this info, I’m hoping we can get an idea for ranges for him for future preflop plays.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
MP2 ($4.37)
CO ($8.30)
Button ($9.79)
SB ($4.62)
Hero (BB) ($4.95)
UTG ($6.73)
MP1 ($13.17)
Preflop: Hero is BB with , 
2 folds, MP2 calls $0.05, CO calls $0.05, Button calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero checks
Flop: ($0.22) , , (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks
Turn: ($0.22) (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks
River: ($0.22) (4 players)
Hero checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks
Total pot: $0.22 | Rake: $0
Results:
Button had Q , 10 (one pair, Queens).
Hero had 2 , 8 (one pair, twos).
MP2 had 7 , 7 (one pair, sevens).
CO mucked 10 , 8 (high card, Queen).
Outcome: Button won $0.22
So let’s just focus on the button. He flops TPGK yet checks all the way. Assume he hasn’t played another hand. I would have been raising the flop, no idea if that’s right, but hey, unimportant here. So, based on this little bit of info about a player, and let’s just assume he was paying attention and this is how he would always play this situation, can we somewhat catagorise him and therefore put him on some ranges for each position preflop. And if so, what would you suggest as ranges for him if raising 4bb when folded to for each of UTG, MP & the button? I appreciate the little info we have isn’t a lot, but I guess we have to infer things from a little info. Is this even feasible? Or am I approaching this wrong?
