Here's what I did.
1. Set up a scenario. Example. You're the preflop raiser in the CO with TT. You get a call from the BTN TAGG who's 22/18 (I play 6max - stats would be different at FR). What's his range? The flop is AQ4. You cbet, he calls. What's his range? Plan the hand from like you should at the tables, what you'll do on the turn brick, based on his range. What cards change the hand. What you think he'll do with each part of his range. Then what you'll do against a card that hits his range.
2. Write down the range you expect EXACTLY. Unpaired cards are 1.25%, pp's are 0.5%, etc. I don't like dealing with suited combos, so I just add 4 so it = 1.25% like the unpaired cards. After you get whatever percentage you like, add in at least 10% "junk," hands just worse than you expect to account for stats inaccuracy and opponent lunacy.
3. Use the way you would play the hand as a basis for how he should, and see if there any places you can exploit typical "TAGG" play.
4. Vary situation. How does this change if villain is 30/10? Hint: dramatically. How does this change if he's in the blinds and we have position? Vary the board and rerun all the flop scenarios. You can spend 3 or 4 hours on one situation.
For an example of #2, let's think about a 22/18 TAGG on the button. He's probably a bit positionally aware, so let's say he'll call with about 10% of his hands and 3bet AK/QQ+ 100%. His 3bet range is part of the "18," so we ditch those hands. (I can explain where the 10% came from later, but it's based on the gap between VP$P/PFR. Ask if interested, but think about what those stats mean, first.) Now we build a 10% range of hands he'll flat with. JJ - 22 is 10 hands x 0.5 = 5% (4.5% actually, but close enough). AJ, AQ, KQ and KJ is another 5%. Add in some "junk," say AT, JTs, QJs. You still leave some room 'cuz different villains play different cards different ways, but you go from there, throwing out hypothetical boards, thinking about how he'll react and which boards he's got no equity on.
Do this with common scenarios you know you'll face. Turn it around and make you the flat caller, and the TAGG is in the CO as PFR'r. What should 3bet? What should you fold? What should you flat? How do each of your hands play postflop when you're on the BTN? How do they play oop?
Work on 3bet scenarios. Those are great at 10nl and 25nl because the ranges are so narrow, and you can find boards/action that just can't have hit villain, so you'll know when you can rep AA and when you need to check behind.
Hope that helps. Just don't think about poker while shooting guns or anything, ok?[/quote]
Lol, deal.
Also, thanks a million Robb! Now I can actually do something constructive at work tonight instead of watching Step Brothers again lol. But seriously, thanks. I'll probably copy all this stuff down (so I know where to start at/how to get them going) and print it out or something and work on this tonight, and see if I can get this down somewhat before I go to boot, so I can HOPEFULLY work on it while I'm there. I don't see why I shouldn't, considering we get an hour (typically) before sleep for "free time" (i.e.: get your shit squared away for tomorrow, write home if you want) and like 2-3 hours on Sunday for the same + religious services (I'm not religious so I can do this while sitting in a church pew lol).

Poker, pr0n, and p0rk ch0ps (NSFW from page 4 on)
). Basically what happened in the last one is I started out as a complete noobdonkfish (in poker and on this site) with $10 and turned it into the roll I currently have now, $636. That took me from 2nl to 25nl. If you want to read the whole thing, heres a link: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...00.html#872933

O wells, like 5k hands to go, so no huge deal. At the very least, I can wake up tomorrow and open up like 20 tables of 2nl and robot my way to the win lmao.
