Are any of them attainable as some kind of txt (or range) dumps?
It does not matter if fractions aren't possible (convenient) to dump, just the raw ranges would work as fractions are easy to set up in CREV.
If a few of those was available as texts (the data from the range boxes you provided), it'd be very useful.

Ah, so Kx is top pair in both cases, and in the examples in Ch 11, I didn't put any in BB's flop check-call range, but in a hand on the same board in Ch 13, I did.
Well, a couple things -- you're right that it's something of a simplifying assumption in the earlier examples. The book starts relatively simple and adds additional complexity as it goes. However, I wouldn't say the examples are really comparable. The Ch 11 ones are at 25 BB deep, while the Ch 13 one is at 100 BB deep. It's definitely a lot more reasonable to play weak top pairs fast at the shorter stack size.
Got it.
This leads to my next couple of questions - I was interested in limped pots since they simulate deeper play (bigger SPR); however, that chapter (14.3) wasn't as detailed as the others.
I am curious, how come that the SB doesn't do any 3betting when he gets checkraised on the flop?
No cutoff equity for stacking off, no folding out semibluffs, no getting value, nothing in his gameplan.. And he has all the sets and twopairs in his range, and the boards are drawy, and there's flushdraws on two of the boards.
The only con of 3betting I can see is that he'll be able to comfortably get it in with whatever he wants on later streets with standard sized betting (ie the raise is not needed in that regard). But in even shorter play you do use 3betting, in single-raised pots for instance.
And, say they were 50bb deep in a limped pot, with ranges similar to the ones you gave there for simplicity - what are you 3betting then after getting checkraised OTF, if you are 3betting something?
Second scenario I'm interested in is again adjustments to deeper play. What'd you alter on the 765 board (chapter 14.2), for the BB, other than not openshoving on the flop, if the stacks were 100bb? Any particular ranges (ie parts of BB's range) come to mind as being different for some reason than in the 20bb situation?
