Robb - I think your range of pure value hands is spot on. I'm not really sure about A9o or ATo, it's probably a little dependant on the players in the blinds, but w.e. should often be profitable.

ISF - I agree when our range is tighter/stronger and villain will call with the same hands, he's making a bigger mistake when calling.
But when we open our range of value hands, and villain stays with his calling range, he's making a smaller mistake, but he is making more of them.

It's a balance thing. More mistakes but smaller ones or less mistakes but bigger ones.


I have to admit it's an eye opener to me that our range of pure value hands is THAT tight and that actually we are/I am often making the mistake by playing more hands against calling stations.
