I recently watched a Collin Moshman vid with Protential, there was a lot of talk about situational hand ranges and I was thinking it might be good for my game to open up Poker Stove to craft my own. I want to focus on some general spots like iso raising, 3betting, resteal from the button and resteal from the big blind.

Now I know that conventional wisdom says I don't really need many, if any, bluffs in my ranges, so I was wonder what the Poker Strategists think about that. Also, if you have any input on the subject that would be helpful. I'm not looking for anyone to tell me what ranges they use, but I'd be interested in any concept advice.

I'm going to spend some time today working out what I think would be good ranges in Poker Stove and will post screencaps of what I come up with in this thread. At that point I will be looking for hard info about the ranges I post.

Thanks for the comments,
Nate

This exercise got a lot more in depth then I expected, but I think actually working out ranges for these situations is really going to help me in game, and in replay of tourneys. So here goes.

Open Raising Ranges

EP Open Raise:

MP Open Raise:

HJ Open Raise:

CO Open Raise:

BTN Open Raise:

SB Open Raise:

BB Raise vs SB Limp:

Isolation Raising Ranges

EP & MP:

LP & BTN:

3bet & 4bet Ranges

3bet:

4bet:

Resteal Ranges

BTN Resteal:

BB Resteal:

BB Defending

Everyone please chime in with your opinions on these ranges, if you do please include some reasoning behind your thoughts. Also, I thought about doing a range for squeeze plays, but I didn't think that those type of plays work well in the micros and that if I am 3betting it should be for value, and my 3bet range is all value.

Thanks for the comments,
Nate

He Nate, this thread is in the Tournament forum.
In tournaments, your ranges should depend a lot a lot a lot on the circumstances:
- how many chips do you have
- are you near the bubble?
- who is putting aggression on the table
etc...

Just in case, please have a look at MTT ranges from our beginner course:

For SNG you will find similar ranges,too

Thanks Sven,

I was under the understanding that the tournament forum was good for 45man + SNG, which is what I'm playing. Thanks for directing to the MTT thread, I will look at the ranges in there and compare them to my ranges.

Hey Nate,

45 manners are fine on the MTT board. It's more about keeping things ordered. Most readers of the SnG boards will be expecting STTs so MTSnGs may not get the responses there. 45 manners play a bit more like an MTT also so genuine MTT players are more likely to offer advice.

Cheers

Laz
