Not sure why no one has gone further with this...
IME many SS players in a sslnl game turn into one trick ponies. They drop into a tournament mentality of double up or bust out. It's like there is some unwritten rule that you can not rebuy until you lose it all, or that you can not pick up your SS and go home.
I think my base range for the SS player is wider than anyone has suggested here, and gets tweaked with specific player reads/tendencies and game dynamics. But I expect to see Ax a lot, any PP, any two paint cards, bigger SCs and bigger CC (connected cards), e.g. JT, 9T, etc.
With a tighter player I can generally exclude 22-77, SC/CC hands, weak Ax hands and some two paint hands.
With a more loose player I can generally add all SC/CC hands, gapper SC/CC hands, and part that is pure air (read villain's favorite hand and rep'ing a BPP).
