Hi! I have a silly question and desperately need an answer. I've been watching upswing lab strategy videos where Doug Polk and Ryan Fee analyze hands.
In those analyzes they often say that " here we can have x holding or x holding" or " we could easily have this hand and that hand"
My question is: what does it mean when they say that?
Does it mean holdings that we want our opponents to think we have? ( holdings we're representing to our opponent)
Or does it mean holdings we can actually have in this particular situation?

sorry about this strange question and thanks for all answers:)

Pretty sure they are speaking in ranges. Meaning they are referring to a group of hands that can be had by either person depending on their actions taken in the hand.

I haven’t seen this video but I also think it could be a hand range based on the respondents.
For example, I think the preflop is 3 bets but only from position J, J-10.10 + A, Qs or back all-in range from AA to Q, Q + A, Ks. Of course, it can still vary from player to player whether he is tight or loose aggressive.
I think they could have been like that in that video. So I think they can talk to the range too.
