Hey guys.
What are the hardest things about learning to work with ranges?
I'm going to use the answers in future strategy articles here on FTR.
Thanks.
- estimating their size and relative size of their sub-ranges during play (ie the relative size of villains call/raise/fold to one another when facing our bet)
- gaining the ability to strategise for ranges over multiple streets
and of course, the main one,
- learning how to think about two ranges at once (ie our range vs theirs and how they do)
I got one reply.
I swear you people are hopeless.
and i dont even poker lolol

I couldn't top arpem's post. I tried, but ultimately felt whiney and deleted it.Quote:

Also, I struggle with visualizing my range as a whole, especially in spots I'm not comfortable in. I want to improve in breaking down my range postflop in 3b pots oop to make sure im not cbetting or folding too much.
1. In the first place I find it really difficult to give an opponent a range based only on his stats.
Can u break down the stats correlating to ranges / pattern in future lesson / guides?
For example when deciding preflop calling range look at: 3bet pf, vpip, pfr, ...
2. Deciding which pattern derives from that for the opponent e.g. betting with range x, checking with range x
3. Implementing the insights to concrete playing situations
Hey man, I appreciate the feedback.Quote:

1. I struggle with outliers, like when I have HH showing a 3bet with K8s when he's only 3betting 8%. Is he aware? Does he have a read? Or is he just clicking drunk?
2. I struggle on the flop deciding what kind of air/semi-bluff hands might peel - I trend to estimate too tight. Especially with looser, passive players. And if they're peeling too much, how to maximize my equity.
3. I struggle to deal with really wide preflop ranges, both for passives and aggros. And then what to do with them.
4. I'm pretty comfortable with TAGG-reg ranges, because that's how I play. So the ultra-nit ranges and loose ranges confuse me. I usually just fold vs. nits and lose money vs. the loosies.
Just saw this. Sorry if it's too late to be helpful.Quote:
