Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2147728, member: 88730"] I think someone already addressed this, but you should always be building ranges. Someone gave a limped pot example. I'll give a similar. The player in MP limps, the button limps, the SB folds and you check in the BB with A3o. The flop comes: 3c8h9h. You have bottom pair out of position against two limpers range will include a lot of hands that will have a pair, straight and gutshot draws, and flush draws. Without any reads, it's not a pot you're going to want to get too involved in because you'd likely have to fire more than one bullet at the pot, and make a blind check/call against an unknown with bottom pair to pick off a bluff. Live or online, with no HUD, you're simple paying attention to how often someone opens the pot, 3-bets, isolates other players, 4-bets, etc... Say you've been playing 5-6 rotations, and you've noticed the player to your right open a decent amount of pots when it's been folded to him. He's probably some kind of regular, or someone who understands basic opening ranges. You've also seen him raise a limper in position as well. Now you're in the SB with K8s, and MP limps, and the player on your right raises on the button. You can assume his ISO raising range is going to be pretty wide based on your observations. He'll probably raise 45%+ of his range, so it's a great spot to re-steal with K8s since he'll be folding such a large portion of his range. Building a range is just about observation, and assumption based on reason. Someone limps, probably a weak range with a lot of hands that will hit mid boards more often (but it's not limited to that, you need to see if they are limping hands like A3o, etc...). Someone is open raising and 3-betting a lot, then you know there range is going to wider than a common regular at your stakes. And so on... [/QUOTE]
