Range Exercise
I was thinking while I read an article and read some HH's here in the BC, what ranges are people putting villains on in various high occurrence situations?
Lets say we open UTG and a tight regular calls in Middle Position, what range do YOU put him on? Think about it, that common situation happens, what do you assume villain has? Try to define the range your usually putting villain on before reading someone else's post and thinking "yeah that's about what I think too." Doing this can cause you to not even realize that you're overlooking hands that are in your own idea of villains range that shouldn't be there, and missing some that should be.
When you open random position and 50/10 - 0% 3b- calls what kind of range are you putting him on? Obviously in a situation like this we're looking at a wider range, and might often be tempted to not even think about it other than "he's calling w/ all the crap a 50/10 calls with, he could have anything" but actually start thinking of some ranges.
This is pretty much the same old mantra you hear a lot around here, but you hear it for a reason. These are just two situations that happen all the time but think of some more(post if you want) that happen very often and figure out what your normal perception of villains range is there. Respond and see if what you think lines up with what some of the better players think. And if you aren't really thinking about what villain has, your a step behind and this would be a great place to start. This is just an idea I had and thought it would be great if we could get a lot of thoughts on the subject! And remember, think about YOUR thoughts before reading others.
