You guys are just great! Only now I paid attention to the discussion of lessons....... Looked at the posts and your answers...Saw everything more clearly and deeply )))) I have now watched lesson 8...Decided I will review everything ! )
Make sure that the ranges you put Villain to are congruent and make sense. Nice, and I see the point. But what if the dude is a complete maniac? Or they are just playing Bingo? Might not be a thing against regs or better players, but I play only at lowest stakes because of lacking a good BR and here you find so many strange folks, that I start to ask myself, if building opponent ranges makes sense. I surely see it as a tool and skill I need to get better as Poker player, but I am afraid that it will be kind of speculative at the lowest stakes I am able to play. Still will practice it nonetheless because it makes sense. It only has some smell of alchemy on it. At least at this point on my learning path. For the quiz I had the Villain on KK+, AQs and AKo.
Thank you for Video 3 – Putting Your Opponent on a Range! This was such a valuable lesson — it really shifted the way I think during hands.
Instead of focusing on just one possible hand, I’m now starting to consider full ranges, which makes my decisions more logical and less emotional. I appreciate how clearly the concept was explained. Looking forward to applying this at the tables and to the next lesson!

How can I determine how wide or narrow my opponent's (Villain's) range is after a passive action (like a check) compared to an aggressive action (like calling a big bet), and how do I adjust my strategy as that range narrows?
Setting the players on a range is of course very important. It is also important to take notes on the players regarding which ranges they play. The next time you sit at a table with them, you already have an important piece of information from your notes.
Hello Poker fans,
Thinking in ranges has made it easier to know how to act post-flop. I feel better putting pressure on a player who raised pre-flop UTG or UTG+1, when the community is filled with low cards. Of course, the villain can have a pocket pair, and in such cases, hero can re-value the position an place villain on a range that includes those hole cards. There are times when the villain folds after my raise of his c-bet and shows me his A10+ type hand, after folding.
You have to love it when a plan comes together, especially when you have nothing but a low straight draw or just hoping to hit a flush.
🤣 When you get through with those plays, Poker is a blast!

Lesson 3 was very interesting; poker ranges are far from simple. Accurately reading an opponent's hand and structuring your own play correctly is a true skill (a battle of wits), so to speak far removed from the amateur level of mindless button-mashing. To play profitably and move up the stakes, you need to be excellent at reading ranges, because making the right calls and smart folds is what generates profit in the long run.
I really liked this lesson because thinking in ranges seems much more realistic than trying to guess the exact hand an opponent has. A player can have several possible hands based on their position, previous actions, and the way they are betting.
I think this also makes poker decisions less emotional. Instead of thinking “he definitely has a strong hand,” I can think about the different hands that make sense in that situation and decide how my hand performs against that range.
This is definitely something I want to practice more because I think it can make decision-making much easier at the table.
