I have been told on this very form actually, That assigning and range to your opponent and keeping track of it in your head when you playing live 1/2 or 2/5 is some thing that takes practice.

I believe that. And i am practicing. But just out of curiosity can you guys who, have practice, and practice, and have this down more or less. Tell me how your opponent range appears to you in your mind when playing live. And how you personally think about the range limp call, or just called, your bet preflop or on the flop.

it would be a great help for me

Thank you.

You're going to have to post specific examples if you want more help but that site pretty much tells you all the steps. Now just practice

well ok live 1/2 game you have Jh10h and stack 500$ your opponent has 500$ you raise preflop 254 and get called buy a tag opponent. flop comes Kh8d2h you bet he calls how are you seeing his range in your mind

Pretty simple. You know a tight player (let's forget about him being aggressive, he's check twice in your example). You can eliminate all 2 pair hands because tight players don't call with stuff like K8 and 82. He can have a set, he can have a hand like KQ to KT (because he'd 3bet AK) or he can have a ace high FD. Now you've actually seen him play and know that he hates to raise with a draw and plays his sets fast. You've narrowed him to a TP hand or the FD. Since there are more FD in his range than TP hands, you decide to keep betting the turn on get as much money as possible in the pot before he gives up.

Now if you have the A, you can eliminate much of his FD, so his range changes. You look at your hand and decide if you can beat TP. If you can't and you know he's never folding TP, you slow down.

Of course, everything changes if his style of play changes.

Great advice thank you. But what i was asking is how you visualize the range in your head. how you personally see it in your mind

Everybody thinks differently. Sorry, I don't visualize anything. It is just a matter of how many hands they'll play in a range and whether they raise or call. Unless someone is playing about 30% of their hands in a position pf, I discount SC. If they are playing 10%, it is high cards and medium pairs. 20% is a break point where if they are good, they aren't calling all broadway hands and start mixing in SC. At 40% or more, they're playing almost any conceivable decent hand. Over 50%, they can have anything pf. I don't try to complicate it any more than that. I'll narrow things after the flop.

If you are looking for a more visual way of doing it, someone else will need to chime in.

well maybe i am complicating things too much that was helpful. thank you

Maybe something like Equilab or pokerstove would help you. After a session you can plug in specific hands vs villains that you recorded and apply hand ranges to your villain in a visual format. After doing that a bunch of times it may give you an idea of how to look at it while you are at the table and in the hand.
