Yeah, when we stop at a certain point in the hand, say considering a flop action after a 3bet pre, we call his "range" the group of hands we've "narrowed it down to" by taking all of his likely preflop and throwing out all the ones that don't make sense based on later actions.
Now, FTR regs often disagree on their various estimates of ranges, but the key point is that villain's range should narrow. And the better you get at forming these ranges and narrowing them based on the action, the more money you'll make.
Good players often pick off bluffs by seeing villain take an action that just can't match any hand in his range. They've successfully narrowed things down so much that they know exactly how much should be bet/raised, or if villain should be trying to check it down. If villain does something odd, the good player thinks "wtf, are you kidding me?!" So he calls or raises bluffs where the weak player would fold, thinking he was beat.
Don't try it too much at 10nl 'cuz they aren't ever bluffing.
NH on recapping your major points of learning, btw. I think you're definitely on the right track for learning the game enough to beat 25nl+.
