Villain is stealing super wide here. I think his range looks something like; 22+,A2s+,K5s+,Q5s+,J7s+,T7s+,97s+,87s,76s,65s,A2o+ ,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T8o+,98o.

Villain #2

VPIP: 17%
PFR: 13%
ATS: 24%
Fold blind to steal: 85%
3BPF: 5%

Second villain is much tighter. Range might look something like; 22+,A2s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,A5o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo.

I like the range you gave villain #1.
With villain #2 i would include some suited connectors instead of so many Ax offsuit.

Thanks, I find it much more difficult to put loose villains on ranges.

I agree about SCs. Usually, most villains will raise with any Ax on BU but I think you're right in that he raises hands like T9s and 98s as well.

Putting loose Villains on ranges is more difficult because of the size of the ranges and the flexibility of what could be in those ranges. However, the larger the range, the more of a reasonable margin of error you can have as well since every individual hand you miss (or put in his range when it's not really there) is a smaller percentage of the whole range.
