Seminar 5/3/2013 - Constructing Ranges

If you have any hands from UTG, post them in here and we can discuss them in the session.

Even better, if you have any questions about overall game plan from these positions, post in the thread

OP is updated btw.

in of course

1 hour to go

I'm playing zoom so I tend to be tighter.
EP tight open: 22+, AQo+,AJs+,KQs =10%
EP loose open: broadways (without QT,KT), pp +AT, A2s-A5s=17.35%
The tight open is for table full of regs. The loosest is for fish in blinds.

MP tight: 22+,JTs+,AJ+,ATs+,KJs+,KQo = 12.8%
Mp loose: add to loose ep any Axs + T9s =20%

I'm opening a tight range and hoping to have fold equity vs regs/tights. I would cbet a lot from this position. I would give up on low connected suited boards without equity always oop and sometimes ip.

The pp are the trickiest to play. Basicly if I play vs regs it's one and done unless i get some very good bluff cards that smash my range and he is weak. like 33 on J72(K/A).

Vs fish - play for value and sometimes would barrel with equity only.

The toughest spots for me are overpairs on low connected boards when you get raised by regs or passive fish and you don't really know how loose is their range.
The other tough spot would be when you have to fold tptk or two pair because their range is almost always nuts, but I think I do well in these.

Ask me anything else

PS-who's the guest?!

really brilliant can't wait for the post with the rages as I could not take everything down and and want to try.

I took mostly number of combos towards the end and will mess around with equilator and try to get there.

Thanks Pleno

Dont worry, i missed the first 30 min as well. Pleno said he will upload the video. Not sure when though

As already pointed out in the coaching-chat, this coaching was rly rly great - exactly the way I eanted to be it - so Im happy and others should be as well - just continue this way - thx:

One thing woul interested me - regards to defedning in UTGvsMP:
why you think KQs is here a better callinghand than AJs in your view?
Sure there is some domination involved, but this is with those posis also true for KQs.
AJs can at least outkick KK-combos and flops almost equally often eq like KQs?

In UTG vs Co/BTN I think that also adding ATs could be interesting cause for the cases your 4b gets called, I think ATs is better than our other bluff4b-hands there, but still slightly too weak to have it in UTGvsMost Co/BTNs in your callingrange...

last request:
can you plz post here your defaultUTG-oR-range if there
a.) is a fish in the BB (here it makes imo a difference if the fish is in BB or SB, cause when fish is in SB ,than BB-Reg can isosqz him decently often -> hence I would not loose my UTG-defaultrange oo much up, if the fish is in the SB and not in the BB - you agree with this thoughtprocess?)
b.) Co and exspecially BTN ar not too loose and too tough...

Just curious in what you would suggest here as a startingpoint -and also: you widen your oR-range in EP when fish is in Co-BTN? (prob is that he gets isoszed a decent amount and we are anyways OOP - this cuts the EV...)

last thing:
Will you at some point also introduce your thoughts on a MP-range as a startingpoint/default?
That`s all cause I think this makes less sense for Co/BTN/SB-Stealrange cause they rly depend almost only on whih ppl are behind....

Once again,
thanks a lot man!:)

Loved how you showed us the framework of coming up with good ranges pre-flop.

Now, just apply it to any concept you struggle with and that's itt!

Video coming? PHEW!!

Thank you for today's coaching.

I'm looking forward to recorded video and downloadable hand chart ♦

It was excellent. Thanks pleno.
