One thing I struggle with is my opening ranges relative to position at the table. Can someone give me a brief explanation of how much my range should increase from UTG to BTN? Also, how do ranges change from first to act VS a raise behind me? I know one of my BIGGEST LEAKS is calling and/opening too wide. I cannot seem to find the discipline to have a set of ranges and stick to them so I am going to physically make ranges for every position and against every open I can think of and stick to that until it becomes embedded in me.
UTG Open range I have is 77+ A10s+ and A2s - A4s is this too wide??

Yes it's too wide but it's also going to depend on what kind of table you play on. How loose is it? How aggressive? Hands like Ax suited derive most of their power on the implied odds of making a flush over a better flush.

Regs are usually limping and/or calling J10o + and most suited connectors pre. Is this a situation where I tighten up pre to something like 1010+ AJs+ and AKo???
Should I eliminate bluffs in my pre range vs a table like?

if u dont have discipline whats any of it matter? find a range and stick to it, lick a 9volt Everytime u do something wrong. playing more tables helps alleviate some of the looseness that comes w boredom

3 and 2 off the button (middle or late middle) can open AT, KJ, QJ, A2s, K9s, Q9s, J9s, T8s, 97s, 87s, 22. Tighten up a step when 4 and 5 off the button. Loosen up a step one off the button, and again a step on the button.

The first and second after the big blind in a 10-handed game can tighten up a step more. If players call with "junk" then maybe open this early with AJ, KQ (dominating) but fold a hand like QJs as/if it then gets dominated more often. Fold to a 3-bet but if it is some maniac alone.

One needs a stronger hand to call and 3-bet than the opener has as his minimum. There might be some exceptions like 22, 87s, QTs but they can be folded also, especially vs. tight to rocky opens (set-mining with 22 is reasonable then).

9max if its live honestly just play dirty tight, your never gonna get punished for it, and people pay off huge!!!! bets and raises pre and post.

so honestly play 6.49% and it will never be an issue thats 88+ aqoff to ajs and kqs btw it looks silly and your spend more time just sitting there than anything else watching hands play out and seeing what people are doing looking for betting patterns pre and post and paying lotta attention to showdowns so you know how to play you holding once involved if involved in pots with them but it works and dont be afraid to bet large pre, your folding alot and your whole range is value your bluffs arent even bluffs aqof-ajs kqs etc so get value for them, also depending hand you have you dont want to go multiway anyway so pick sizes that accomplish getting 1-2 callers, oh also 3b and properly raise the size of the pot people call too much live they want to see flops, post flop just dont spew dont defeault cbet wait till turn or size appropriately etc think, id say fullring least live you can play mad tight i only know as never played live really wanted to so went and just mentally said im never bluffing preflop and i never did first 3 hrs i played like 4hands brokeven after a break next 4 made 3stacks, i was dirty tight pre but post i was bluffing 1/3 check folding 1/3 and value betting 1/3 it worked well by end of night cause i was deeper and had reads on opponents on how they played postflop due to playing large chunk of them all evening i loosened up bit but not much bumped it to 11.16% so ajof to ajs kqof 77+ suited connectors 87s up and the broaway suited gappers kjs qts.

you can play poker and fullring far tighter than people realise, if it was limit holdem than no but its not its no limit meaning tight isnt necessarily right but its profitable aslong as dont spew postflop and considering only 18.4-23.6% hands are profitable and rest are losers or breakeven at best why play **** most of the profits come from aa-jj and aks middling pockets and suited connected hands everything else is junky and should treated as a bluff not value yes they win but mentally dont treat is as value, off suit hands for what its worth are bad bad bad even high card ones unless its cleanly connected no gaps fold kjoff bin it q10off bin it j9off bin it ace rag below 10 bin it your not missing out on much passing up on those hands doing so.


or ignore all i just said play value hands only when you start a session but actively look out for opponents where you can set up a situation to squeeze chips money out of them either with a a hand (say marginal one that has value vs them specifically and alot where as vs another it be stupidly marginal slightly profitable volatile or break even situation) or with out a hand as in you identified spots where there over folding far too much either pre post on certain boards textures runouts or given certain actions you take that cause them to fold better hand than yours, basically play stupid value heavily watch opponents and then add hands in situations where you believe it to be profitable can play it the hand or that position at table profitably vs said opponent cause of what you know about them and how they play their range of hands strengths of hands.
