Hi! its good to have a read on people but tracker and hem do great of them so the only problem is to decide when to play a hand. ok in position but i dont actually know which hands to disqualify due to low showdown equity.
e.g. preflop j9s has 36% equity vs a 14% range. so my question is, is 36% good enough or 50% should be my standard? and i mean as a default before manipulating reads and stats. id done some work some time ago 3betting opponent's top 12% for value and then 50% under this was used as a calling range but i think stove makes work faster comparing hands to ranges.

I dont understand your question. are you taking about opening ranges, calling ranges or 3betting/4betting ranges pf?

It's not that simple. For instance, you can play J9s more easily against fit or fold player than a tricky and/or aggressive one even though both open the same X%. Position matters too.

about opening ranges. regardless of reads as a default e.g. 40% would be sufficient in position?

The showdown equity of a hand changes according to number of players. How about if those who fold holds one of your outs or opponents out. I think it assumes only of any random hand.

I dont consider hand equity much though.

so you want to figure out how much equity youre going to have when you open and get called pf?

if so, i think youre going about this the wrong way. also something you should consider is not just AI equity but playability and how much of that equity you can realize postflop

I think he wants to know what is the minimum EQ needed to make a call vs villains range. Like his example... should he be calling J9s preflop when it has 36% "AI" EQ vs villains range.

I agree there is so much here. Does villain x/f ever flop he misses. Does he always cbet, but then x/f turns etc.
It would be to hard to quantify this with AI EQ. Because you can 3bet, fold flop, fold turn, raise flop, raise turn. Same for the villain.

for example weve got an average opponent w 18% from MP. were on the btn holding 89s. im saying 89s cause in my head thats a borderline hand vs that range. maybe im 3xing that cause i think that i should hold at least 9Ts to make that call +ev but this is just a "feel". math always makes me a little more comfy w desicions so maybe use equity multiplied by a factor called postflop softness? we can add position factor and deception factor. what dou do here w 89s?? please share thoughts.!
