hi 2p2,

i want to construct a linear 3b/f range vs rfi and BB defending range vs rfi ... there are many tools i can use like solvers and preflop solutions but those are too expensive for me, so i wanna know if the pokersnowie's free preflop advisor is supposed to be solid and if it's a +ev decision to use it as a basis for my range?

thanks!

I feel like basic Snowie questions like this one are appropriate in BQ these days..

To answer your question: yes, Snowie’s preflop advisor is supposed to be solid. If the ranges are optimal for the games you play is a different question.

yeah i totally agree, that's why i just use it as my basis or starting point for constructing ranges and modify it ... thats why i was asking if it's solid so that my basis is solid

The weakness of snowie is that it restricts your 3 bet sizing to pot sized which is unconventional when in position. The next smallest size is also smaller than the typical 3x

Also, pot sized 4 bets are not usually done in real games except by bad players who never 4 bet bluff

starting point but adjustments to the game needed to get a big win rate.

and remember live poker and internet poker are two different animals.

Can you please expand on this topic? I am slowly trying to adapt in local 1/2 games live and i play 10nl online. What i can see is a lot more wider ranges, deeper staks and a lot more often multyway pots... But internett player can adapt to that.... No?

all i can say is almost all of the internet players that hit the games i play in do lose. a few can adjust most dont or cant.

live is so much more people play. some guy gets a phone call and he is playing very tight during it and you had better adjust. or maybe he loses two pots and is steaming and bluffing which is never does otherwise. or when he talks he has a hand and quiet doesnt.
comes in from many positions regardless of his hands.

all kinds of things that drastically change the way or even if you play a hand. online you dont see or feel that as much. so you play more from a script and that works for online.

I must be the exception that proves the rule. It's probably true that pot-sized 4-bet are usually value-raises.
I 4-bet bluff about as often as Snowie, and it always sucks to fold to a 5-bet jam when you've put 35bb in the pot with A7o.
