Would you think there is a way to de-unique-ify situations because that would solve your problem right?
Let say the board is JT2. How different is that board compared to JT3? How different is that board from T93?
Let's do the same with the turn now. Is there "groups" of turns?
First group: JT2A, JT2K
Second group: JT2Q, JT29, JT28, JT27
Third group: JT23, JT24, JT25
Fourth group: JT2T, JT22, JT2J
Maybe one can disagree with the way I made the groups here but it doesn't matter, the point is that your play will probably be different according to the various groups, not the various hands!
Also note that the first group is quite a rare situation. The second group is quite common, the third one is even more common and the fourth is quite rare.
As a side note, if you want to play more balanced, I'd advise you to try and beat the bad nit player. The bad nit player only bets for value. The thing with beating the bad nit is that you are beating the most difficult of the terribly-unbalanced players and that will teaches you a lot about being balanced.
It's easy to beat the unbalanced "fish" because he bluffs all the time. So when you find out how to beat those, that teaches you how unbalanced is bad
on that end of the spectrum. But now, you need to beat the other end of the spectrum, the unbalanced "for value". Once you beat both end of the spectrum, well, you'll know how to be decently balanced: dont do like the fish or the bad nit.
My point being that if you can't beat the "all for value" player, then you don't know why shouldn't play yourself "only for value". Do you know why you shouldn't play only for value? Then you beat the bad nits? See my reasoning, you only know why you shouldn't play only for value the day you beat bad nits.
Note that most low limits game are full of bad nits and they will call you "fish" the day you beat them.
