What would you consider normal calling ranges -for fish that is- at 10,15 and 20bb stacks? How much would you adjust these if a player's nitty/cally in general?
Top 3 HUSNG.com videos not made by you?
Thanks
So if we want to be realistic/thorough about it, we should construct calling ranges that expect them to call 20bb deep with A8 85% of the time, QJo 25% of the time, etc, rather than using binary 100 or 0 ranges. But obviously it can get to the point where the time we spend making an accurate calculation is less useful than just making an inaccurate calculation and getting a decent idea of it and moving on with our poker lives.
I do think that you should properly take into account card removal. If you have A5, and your opponent opens 50% of hands and raise/calls 20% of hands, you do NOT get called 40% of the time if you jam over his open with A5. That's an inaccuracy in most people's 3bet shoving spreadsheets.
I've used AA-22,AK-A5,KQ-KT,Ax4x-Ax3x,Kx9x,QxJx-QxTx in the past for a quick and dirty 20bb deep table, which includes a few light hands but nothing crazy.
To be completely honest, I haven't watched many videos myself. skates always has really interesting ones that make you think. I like watching his videos and deciding whether or not I disagree with him, and why. So even when he says things I decide aren't true, I learn a lot from the arguments. ITRIED's reg wars series is good and take a look at some of Hokie's highest rated ones for sure.
