Thanks

That was a great artical.. credit to the author.

What do you guys feel about these hand ranges. I have been compaing them to results from poker stove.

To give you a VERY broad feel for what different percentages translate into, here are some potential example ranges:

5% = "pairs 77+, AK, AQs" or "pairs 99+, AK, AQ."
10% = "pairs 66+, AK, AQ, suited aces, KQs, QJs"
15% = "any pair, AK, AQ, KQ, suited connectors 54+, any suited ace"
20% = "any pair, any two broadway, any suited ace"
25% = "any pair, any suited broadway, any ace, any suited connectors 54s+, KQo"
30% = "any pair, any ace, any suited king, any suited broadway, any suited connectors 54s+, KTo+, QJo" or "any pair, any ace, any suited king, any broadway"
40% = "any pair, any ace, any king, any two broadway, any suited connectors 32s+"
50% = "any pair, any two suited cards, any ace, any two broadway, K5o+"

I agree, that article opened a new eye for my aspiring-to-be-a-non-donk self. But honestly, CC has taught me more about Poker then any video or book I have read. Four and three quarter and a half stars!

That was a great article on hand-reading. That is one of the huge leaks in my game as well. I'm sure alot of other people already know this, but pokerstove will also let you put someones vpip in and will let you evaluate your hand against their range. It can be very helpful in making some calls and show you how far ahead of their calling or raising ranges you actually are.

just be very obsercant at the table and youll start to notice when people do things different or the same all the time. just pick up on that and use it to your advantage. remember being observant at the table will get you a long way.
