Each street should give you more information on how to narrow what they have.
I responded to this thread bc. I do need to learn to think more in terms of ranges, but for the weak players (who I tend to play most pots with, ldo) I think I am more putting them on ranges of categories, not so much specific cards..."he'll do this with one pair only", "a raise means he can beat one pair", he cannot get away from an over pair of TT on a low flop" etc. etc
My game must be really freaking good! I'm routinely seeing hands like the following from last night, except there are no exposed cards usually
:
1-3 four limps to me and I make it $25 with KKo. BB and utg+2 calls
$75ish in pot.
Flop: JT2r
I bet $70, v1 calls, v2 calls
Turn ($285) JT2 7r
I bet $150, v1 folds, villain 2 calls and tables K8s (lol)
of course river was a 9!, but who cares. This hand was inspiring and made it clear why I have been doing so well--there are just so many good spots to get the money in.
