| Adjusting hands that PokerStove includes in certian ranges I'm trying to study ranges (something I know semi-novices like me need to do a lot of) and I've been using PokerStove lately to analyze my hands. I know that Stove comes up with its calculation based on a all-in scenarios to the showdown, but I think I need to adjust a lot of the hands it says has a higher value over others when I'm trying to put opponents on hands. Here are a couple of examples: If a villain has a 25% VPIP, Stove says it should include hands like K6s but not the small pairs 55-22. This seems way off to me. Is someone (who's not an total idiot) really going to play a trash hand like K6so over 55? It gets even wackier wacky at 35%. Stove suggests that complete garbage like Q5s or K7o or 97s is better than 44. Hmmm. I understand how technically this works, but I'm wondering how I should adjust my reading when using Stove. I'm trying to memorize (more or less) what kinds of hands get included in certain ranges, but I don think at the higher %'s Stove is a good guide. How do you modify some of these hands? Which ones should I remove or add do you think? |

| At the higher percentages it won't be accurate no matter what and you really shouldn't be memorizing what hands make up even smaller ranges. The best way to use Stove for prep work like you're doing is to see how certain hands play against different ranges. If a range contains 44 or K6s won't matter too much one way or the other, but knowing how KJo plays against a 10% UTG opening range sure will. |
