Isn't this a good enough hand to balance our turn checking range OOP? There are no flush draws and V never has AK.
P.S. Guys, this was 6-handed, is KQo still a fold pre?? It's at the very bottom of my range..
Year ago, weak players would make weak plays and declare "Well, I had pot odds". Nowadays, those same weak players make the same weak plays and declare "Well, I was balancing my range".
You may not need to "balance" your range at your level. I don't say that to be mean, so pls don't take the wrong way. It's great that you're thinking about balancing your range, but without knowing the stakes you play, your opponent descriptions, how often you play at this casino, balancing is likely unnecessary.
Under the right circumstances (mainly small stakes), you can play exploitative unbalanced strategy and reap tons of profit. IMHO, probably more profit at low stakes than a GTO, balanced strategy.
Focus on the basic fundamentals and then go from there. I wouldn't even begin to think about balancing your range unless almost everyone at the table is a regular and they play with you often AND it's mid or high stakes like ...maybe... 2/5 and above but more like 5/10 and above.
