I've recently been trying to think more about ranges.
As some of you will know it's an integral part of developing you poker game. At 10nl (where I am) you should really start to learn and practice it and add it to your game. Before moving up to 25nl you should be pretty comfortable working with ranges to be successful.
I'm trying to add this to my game but i'm finding it difficult. Here are a couple of problems i'm having.
1. I give people too much credit. I start over thinking and probably leveling myself, I start thinking what they could have and start mis-playing my hand. It makes me much less confident in my hand and how to play it.
If some one calls my button raise I put them on small pairs, SC's and some broadways. There a lots of possible hands they could make and I find it hard to stay aggressive when I think of what they may have.
2. It's hard to think of ranges for certain spots quickly, although I know it will come with practice. Like I said before when someone limp calls, what the hell do I do? They could have so many hands at 10nl.
Mainly i't just like to get some advice on how I should start thinking about ranges. Maybe a method to work through that will help me become comfortable with working with them before I can expand and it starts coming naturally to me. I do need help because atm i turn into a mess when I try and think like this.
Thanks.
