I'm trying to study ranges (something I know semi-novices like me need  to do a lot of) and I've been using PokerStove lately to analyze my  hands.  I know that Stove comes up with its calculation based on a  all-in scenarios to the showdown, but I think I need to adjust a lot of  the hands it says has a higher value over others when I'm trying to put  opponents on hands.  Here are a couple of examples:

If a villain has a 25% VPIP, Stove says it should include hands like K6s but [B][I]not [/I][/B]the  small pairs 55-22.  This seems way off to me.  Is someone (who's not an  total idiot) really going to play a trash hand like K6so over 55?  It  gets even wackier wacky at 35%.  Stove suggests that complete garbage  like Q5s or K7o or 97s is better than 44.   Hmmm.

I understand how technically this works, but I'm wondering how I should  adjust my reading when using Stove.  I'm trying to memorize (more or  less) what kinds of hands get included in certain ranges, but I don  think at the higher %'s Stove is a good guide.

How do you modify some of these hands?  Which ones should I remove or add do you think?
