I'm really not sure where to begin.
Thanks for the reply and the time you've put in. It does explain a lot but I do have more questions if you don't mind. Also I think I may be using words to explain to my best ability but using incorrect poker terms. I'll give some examples and explain to see if my new understanding is correct.
First are these bullet points correct?
- Open linear ranges getting wider as my position gets closer towards the button then tightening up in the Small Blind?
- Defend linear ranges but the more they fold the more polarized hands I can add to my range?
- Also should I defend with hand combos tighter than my opponents perceived range?
- Seating position has no bearing on the range of hands I reraise with?
Are these examples below correct?
My opponent is a tight player:
1). Villain opens 3bb.
Hero
- 3bet 12bb - JJ+, AQo+ etc. - if they fold often polarize my range?
- call - TT-22, AJs-A7s, KQs-K9s, etc.
2. Hero opens 3bb
Villain 3bet 12bb (I understand this could be a 4bet pot)
Hero
- 4bets 38bb KK+, AKo+ - if they fold often polarize my range?
- call - QQ-88, AQs-ATs etc.
My opponent is a loose player:
- Should I widen my ranges in all call, 3bet and 4bet spots?
- If they fold often polarize my 3bet and 4bet hands?
Should I polarize my calling range?
eg. 3bet TT+, ATs+, ATo+ but call with AQo?
Thanks
