Ranges

What are your thoughts on these ranges. Assume new table, no reads. Obviously you can add some combo's for balance, but as a static beginning study range on 6 max cash game.

My opinion

I didnt go that far but I like your idea for how to make a puzzle in a news paper or crossword puzzle book. You could make situations up saying person in that seat is the weak better that person is a strong better so it breaks to this equation then. This BB person wins cause its a strong better situation or hero wins cause its a weak better situation.

The very beginning of my post clearly states. "Assume new table, no reads. Obviously you can add some combo's for balance, but as a static beginning study range on 6 max cash game."

well i didnt read entire post but how do you feel about the rangers??? if is cash im adding ALL suited connectors if can limp in ANYWHERE so that means 10-6 etc... i like my str8s and combos... sometimes like yesterday this gets me in trouble ran into ak vs 10-8 flush but it happens

Wow, Memphis... this is really cool! I'm still going over it, but I like this a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if you do this kind of work in your head, on the regular...

I keep going back and forth between replying and reading your ranges. It's really good, man. I'm going to copy/paste this into my own flat file and keep looking at it...

I’m in agreement with them mostly. I’ve been on a open/ defending range kick in my studying lately. So trying I to find all the charts I can, and get input from others.

I hear ya on the ALL suited connector thing. Makes sense and all but that can really get you in unnecessary trouble limping from anywhere...

I’d much prefer playing any suited connector in position, and opening with them, or a balanced light 3 bet. I can even see sprinkling in an open from UTG every so often. Limping is a very weak play IMO

As for “this” range chart, I think it’s decent chart to study for the moments when you don’t know your opponent, and you need a default range. Kind of like the snap shove App I use, that combines an unexploitable Nash equilibrium range. When you study these charts you don’t use them like a computer, but add your gathered information and combine that with these range charts to gain an edge on your competition.

Again this is just my opinion, I think exploitative play is MUCH more profitable in low limit games than GTO.

Thank U 4 Posting.

With this wide a RFI early we had better have a 4 bet -6 bet strategy that works well with it. Good 6 max players drop the hammer with just position, so opening early with many of these hands means we had better be great playing OOP in 3+ bet pots with no reads.

Some of the hands you suggest OOP are real dogs even when we are skilled. Again with no info about villains we have no idea if the best player on the table is on our immediate left.
Or where the fish is or the wildest player or any of the player tendencies that help us most.

You may wish to think about how YOU play hands OOP and have a standard RFI for YOU at your current skill level. The range you have outlined on a table with good players (unknown to us) would require an advanced level of GTO skills post flop.

I like a SB limping strategy with big hands when new to a table as again 6 max players should default to raising a new player's SB limp but may assume TAG ranges when we raise.

Hope this helps.
