how many of you use PT in detail? meaning you go into more than vpip/pfr/AF. beyond W$SD/W$WSF/Cbet %.

the reason i ask is i am having a bit of trouble with a concept i thought i liked, but it doesnt seem to pan out...or i have no discipline whatsoever.

i read an article about "profitable ranges" a couple of years ago...

basically, you go through your holdings after a "decent" sample size of about 20k hands, and determine which holdings you play profitably, and which you dont. you determine a "range" from which you are profitable, and STICK TO THAT RANGE as best you can.

the problem is when you set up your "filter," the article wants you to remove the blinds from your profit. they are thinking that the blinds arent supposed to be profitable anyway, so that skews your numbers, forcing holdings OUT of your range that you actually play well.

maybe this requires a lot more detail from me to get us on the same page, but i never seem to stay in that "range." even when i am focused primarily on said range for an entire session.

has anyone read the same article? one like it? or does anyone even care about it, as a concept? before i go into great detail, please let me know.
