I have practiced a lot with Equilabs equity trainer which is great for analyzing how you shape up against your opponents range on the flop, and set scenarios are getting easier to memorize, but what I find difficult is to decide whether I have the correct odds to call past the flop.

So let's say I have JTs vs. Villians 20% range

Flop comes ThKd2c

I have 54% equity at this point, but if the turn is an 8d, i'm still 54% to win, but of course if Villian has been betting, he's not going to be betting the whole 20% of his range is he, so how would you come to an analysis in real-time as to what part of his range he is betting with? Would you assume any T,K or 8 which fits into his range and analyse it that way? This is the one thing which I believe is holding me back. On the flop it's easy right, but past then it gets more tricky I feel.

This is where observation and notes help. Of course you can start to narrow down his range without any, for specific reads you need either a hud or notes to help out. Some will keep betting any pr, some will check call with mid or tpwk, some check fold without top. He might be simi bluffing the draw. Air...

Unfortunately, with the info given there is not enough to really have a clue imo. Just TAG, LAG, Fish, etc gives you more info. If he is normally passive or it is a rock then his range goes down to very few hands etc.
