Raising and 3bets
6max cash games.
I understand that it is bad that i'm 31/12 (VPIP/PFR) Also, I only 3bet preflop with AA-10s AK, AQ, AJ and, which I understand is pretty bad as well. Basically I open way to tight and 3bet poorly. Currently i'm raising preflop with any pair 99+, Any A8+, sometimes with A5-A7 (40% of the time) and never with A2-A4, Raise with K10+, and Q10+ Suggestions? How wide should my range be against a random opponent? and my range for 3bet? Maybe trim my VPIP to below 25? 20?! ultimately, what would be a good solid stat? 23/18?

One thing you are forgetting is position. your ranges look good for utg and utg+1 however i would add all pairs and even some suited connectors. In LP you need to be opening a fuckton more hands tho. Im not real sure of an exact range and it depends alot on the opponents left to act in the hand.

I open limp with small pocket pairs to hit set. Kinda only reason I play them. I also open limp with Suited Connectors, I guess I have to change that eh? Thanks for replying btw suggestions anyone?!

Go watch at least two videos from the Videos section. Report back after completing this assignment (seriously).
You will learn TONS. |

Overall Analysis
Ok, here are some thoughts:
Raise with Suited Connectors just to vary play Apparently I'm supposed to raise pocket pairs, I really don't know why at the moment, seems to me that i'd want to just check/call for set odds... but at the moment, i'll put them in the category of "varying play". Now, I will divide my pre-flop range into 3 categories, Early/Middle/Late positions, which obviously I will play more hands at later positions. Early Position: Playable Hands: AA KK QQ JJ AKs AK AQs AQ AJs KQs TT-22 Raise-able Hands: All of them if im opening. 3bet-able Hands: All of them except 22-88 unless I get set odds (which I won't). Middle Position: Playable Hands: Everything Mentioned Above + ATs KJs AJ AT QJs KTs KQ KJ Suited Ace-rags Suited Connectors Raisable Hands: All of them if im opening 3bet-able Hands: Same as in Early Position Late Position: Playable Hands: Everything Mentioned Above + QJ A9 and one gap Suited Connectors Raisable Hands: All of them if im opening 3bet-able Hands: Same as in Early Position This should allow me to have one of those glorious VPIP/PFR stats, and just to make sure, I did some calculations: (This is assuming 169 Starting Hands in Hold'em, which I believe is correct) Early Position: Hands played: 19 Hands Raised: 19 3bet Hands: 8 (My guess is 3bet with usual premiums + TT/99) Middle Position: Hands played: 34 Hands Raised: Original 19 + 7 = 26 (I think about half the time I will raise with the other cards so the other 14 divide by 2 = 7) 3bet Hands: Original 8 maybe + 2 = 10 just cuz of position Late Position: Hands played: 44 Hands Raised: 26 + 5 = 31(again, assuming half of the time, 10/2=5) 3bet Hands: Original 8 + 4 = 12 OK, now to find out my VPIP/PFR!!! VPIP would be the average hands played, so (HPE (Hands played Early) + HPM + MPL)/3 = (19+34+44)/3 = 32 Hands divide by 169 Hands Total x 100% = 19% PFR do same thing and I get (19+26+31)/3 = 25/169x100% = 15% 3Bet% would amount to 7%. So at this moment, I don't know why we are raising with 22-88 but overall the VPIP/PFR of this strategy is 19/15 and 3bet is at 7 A litte on the tight side, but I like it! Edit: I should reference Melioris, as I did get some ideas from his play. Thanks.
