How do you figure out as a general rule of thumb we should be playing back around half of villain's preflop range? The example you gave was if villain opens BTN around 60%, we should be defending around 30% of our range from the blinds, why not 35% or even 40% if he's opening that wide?

rule of thumb no particular reason other than experience. Feel free to use whatever range you think is profitable.

Ah ok, thanks again!

yes you would call with things ahead of his cbetting range and be prepared to bluff catch. Bluff raise a tone and be extremely aggro because villain's range cannot take any heat.

this was your answer to: ' I pulled a guy from my db and I know he bets a depolaryzed range. Does this mean I can call him with a very wide rang and fold when he bets?'

If he's bets a depolarised range, does that mean that he has a strong range? surely, the idea that he cannot take any heat isn't true. this seems to be more intuative vs a polarised range where he has air in his range... perhaps im mistaking the concept but i thought

A) a polarised range was a nut or nothing kind of range,
B) a depolarised range was strong hands

Is it more:

A) a polarised range is nuts or nothing
B) a depolarised range is not just nuts or air, but everything. i.e, 2nd pai , draws etc?

Thanks. This makes much more sense

and when we play back we play back strongly because when his range is depolarised the nuts are a very small % of his range and we can make it difficult for him to feel comfortable with the rest of his range if we are highly aggressive?

yes and more of his range can continue to a later street.

Just watching this serie for the third time and it has been the most valuable one for me on DC especially from this last couple of years.
