Range on 4nl~~~

[WeldPhaser]

Sup guys,

Well, i finally got my network card for my laptop. So I can stop playing at the local library, and I can start posting my HH's. (can't access hard drive at library.)

Anyway, on to my range Question.

If villian is Raising KTo & A7o in the Co, limping Sc's & small PP's.

Its prob safe to say his Late Position open raise range is something like:
Ax+,K5s+,K9o+,Q8s+, QTo+, J9s+, JTo..... or close to that right???

Bear with me and my range analysis. I'm really tryin to get it right..

Welcome to FTR!

Hard question. Limping is a sign you don't play well, and I've witnessed some very inconsistent approaches from the serial limpers.

More important than what exactly is in his range preflop is how he plays the flop when he hits 2nd pair, top pair no kicker, or when he's got air. It seems like limpers think they're being tricky, but after a while observing them many have huge betting-pattern tells on the flop. Make an estimate preflop, but think really hard about how he plays that range when he catches a piece of the flop.

Yes, pretty close to that. Different villains will have different ranges, even when they play the same % of hands.

Some notes on your guess:
You didn't include any pocket pairs. How small is small for this villain?
Ax+ is redundant and a bit confusing as to what you mean. A2o+ would be all off-suited Aces; A2s+ would be all suited Aces; Ax is all Aces.
If you know he raises KTo, why do you assume he raises K9o?

I use VPIP/PFR stats to narrow down their limping and raising range. I do not use a HUD. I made a Excel spreadsheet that has a bunch of buttons on it, so I just click each player's action and the sheet does the math. My point is that you don't need software to track stats like VPIP, PFR, CPFR. These stats converge pretty quickly, and they help greatly in figuring out whether something was on the top, bottom, or middle of a villain's range. If you're not on Bovada (or another anonymous site) and you're playing w/o a HUD, you are at a serious disadvantage to a player who is using a HUD.

Also, think about what Robb said.
