I like the overall concept for this blog, JKDS. I'm also not one to brag. Talking theory, though, is another story.

Playing without initiative with a weak range just isnt very profitable it would seem as ill get pwned by villains value range, and i wont make very much from hands i beat too often. This obviously is going to change depending on who raised...but having a weak range in a spot where villain has a strong range with initiative sucks
This got me thinking of an IRC discussion I had last week with zill4, zwift and CBAT. Ignoring the other issues w/ this hand - bet sizing and turn action on my part mainly - the portion on pf opening ranges is pretty illuminating. Here it is, take from it what you want:
weaktight | Hand | 77 - $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Holdem
and the resulting discussion in IRC:
CBAT: wat is with river gay bet?
+zill4: fold pre
+zill4: idiot
Penneywize: for srs?
+zill4: i dont open 7s utg
+zill4: and i open alot of shit utg
+zill4: like 65s
ZwiFT: open 7s is fine @ 5nl for sure
ZwiFT: u dont have to
CBAT: bet river bigger
CBAT: plz
ZwiFT: but def +ev
CBAT: plzplzplzplzplzplzplz
+zill4: also
+zill4: larger on turn
CBAT: he didnt bet turn
Penneywize: 
+zill4: and larger on river
+zill4: buy alot
CBAT: make it at least $2 on river
Penneywize: ok
+zill4: yeah
CBAT: cuz ur betting less than half pot
+zill4: you want to bet atleast like 65% here
+zill4: okay
+zill4: but the reason i dont open 7s utg
+zill4: is because
+zill4: they are pretty static value postflop
+zill4: like
+zill4: you know if you get to showdown
+zill4: youll have a pair of 7s
+zill4: 80% of the time
Penneywize: yes
+zill4: so say you get called
+zill4: turn is an offsuit J
+zill4: now what.
+zill4: pow
Penneywize: starting with 22
Penneywize: where do I open for setmining
ZwiFT: ur calling 22+ from ev pos
+zill4: i open everything in mp
+zill4: err
+zill4: mp1
ZwiFT: u can do 99+ utg, and 66+utg+3
+zill4: and i open like 66+ in mp1
ZwiFT: and u be fine
+zill4: yeah
+zill4: like
Penneywize: ok
+zill4: yeah
Penneywize: gonna write this shit down haha
+zill4: once the first 3 guys fold
+zill4: open everything
+zill4: but
+zill4: the first 2 guys fold
+zill4: maybe add like 7s
+zill4: but the problem is pp oop as pfr is really shitty
+zill4: im not happy about opening 22 in mp2
+zill4: but i do it
+zill4: but yeah

Quoted for truth.
