Setting up hand Range

[Desiatpoker]

Hello everyone,

So what you guys think of playing only 15 to 18 % range? Is this to tight? Can this be a step in right direction?

This could be a good range to play in a lot of spots like when you're first in from MP1 (3rd to act at a full 9-handed table). But you would want to adjust the range depending on your position, what others had done before you, and other factors.

For example, 18% would be much too tight to play first-in from the button. It would also be much too loose to play from late position facing a raise and two reraises.

Try to think a little more dynamically about ranges you'll play and keeping them flexible based on these factors, and you'll do well

On the pokerstars network the opportunity to see your hand statistics. So I noticed that I play on tables with 9 players from 10% to 12% of hands in tournaments. I fold the rest and do not look at the flop with them. And I think this is a normal % of the cards used. With a larger percentage, there is an unnecessary loss of chips.

So how you doing with playing 12% or around?

Yes you are correct, well I tried this first time in cash game yesterday. 10nl and there was a player with 100% range he open or limp 2-3o + but was so lucky he won most pots but what I was asking in general will I have a huge edge with this tight range? Any stack size recommended for this if you know. Thanks
