I have a confession to make. Every time i see a thread, or hear a comment about opponents ranges, i go blank.
There was a thread on here yesterday, where someone was SO specific, it made my mind boggle. He was saying, Villains range is 99+ AK, AQ, AJs, KQs blah blah....i'm like....WHAT?
I'm sorry but i just find this almost impossible..i'm not an unintelligent person, have good qualifications, including a grade A, A Level in Mathematics, but when i play poker, i simply cannot put people on ranges.
Now perhaps its several reasons, when i play tourneys or SnG, probably not enough time to assess these players, when i play cash, i still cant do it.
Sure I can label players, TAG, TAGFISH, LAG, Maniac etc, but to be specific about ranges, im totally lost.
Am i alone here?
Or am i missing something? Like your making assumptions on ranges because of VPIP and PFR stats?
I know some of you are just going to say that i'm not being observant enough, but i really dont see that as the answer. Most of the people i come across have 2 speeds, stop and go, lol... You cant put someone on a range when they limp from UTG with KK one minute, and then raise 3x blind with Q9s the next time you see their hand.
Totally lost i'm afraid, and i can't be alone.
