This is why most winning online players use HUDs: so they can get a better idea of what particular players' ranges look like. Handreading is not 'hocus pocus'. It's a mix of observation, perception and probability.
This is exactly right. Each player had a different range. Also, ranges change based on action. Then you tweak them as the hand progresses. You make choices accordingly.
For example, there’s an old guy at my casino. If he 3 bets you you can put him in AA or KK. Maybe every now and then QQ, but he will usually just call with the ladies. He may open a bit wider, like 99+, AQo, but he will only ever 3bet pre with those two hands. That’s his 3 bet range.
Other players have wider ranges. So, you construct a range for each particular player.
