Live players tend not to think about ranges. Sample size is too small and everyone is so horribly unbalanced.

The bad players are unbalanced because they have huge spewing leaks.
The good plaeyrs are unbalanced because they're maximizing value against the bad players.

A really strong player just destroyed the game a couple nights ago playing a VP$IP around 40% with a PFR of around 20% (best guess) 8 handed. This worked because he just was able to take people apart without showing down many hands.
