Small Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

I've definitely found that fewer regs are running up big stacks on zoom than I would have imagined, I somewhat assumed that regs would try run up stacks as big as possible but I guess that's not how other people think. Are regs just uncomfortable playing deep?

That doesn't matter. This is away from the table work that you should put in. It will help you formulate more accurate ranges when you are playing and have limited time if you analyze ranges when you do have the time. People (generally, not saying you in particular) often like to throw out stuff like, 'I'm targeting his weak made hands' or 'he's got some draws that can call' without ever thinking about what those actual hands are and what percentage of his range they make up. Which is important because it tells you whether it is wise to do whatever it is you're doing. You don't want to be targeting draws when they only make up 3% of his whole range for example.

It is too simple to look at a bet and think, 'weak. I raise!'. You don't know if he has a bet sizing tell. Plenty of people have a std size, and half pot might be his. More importantly, you have to think of what hands he bets, what hands he calls with, what hands he reraises with, what hands he folds, and what that does to his range on the next street.


None of this is specific to the action in this hand, but if you want to know how to figure out what the right answer to this hand is, it is worthwhile to do the work.

Good points above, but when a bet is made imo it¨s targeting always the whole range you bet into or reraise.
