Preflop ranging

1. A nitty straight-forward player raises to 4bb UTG, you're in CO and BU is a loose passive who is likely to come along to see a flop. You are 100BB deep.
Would be nice to know his opening % but anyway. 3b: A2-A5s and A6s-A7s(A8,A9 no good cuz block folding range) until he sees us showdown, AA/KK like 80% of the time and less then this if he cbets like a million % this will add strength to all of our flop bluff raises we'll be making. Also 3bing AKo and flatting AKs,AQs,AJs. Probably 3b AQo and AJo if I feel like it as a bluff and if the fish comes along it's like w/e. Yes we are 3b bluffing a lot but it's still only like 3% of hands.

Call: Now this is super dependent on how often we can get away with calling 1 and just winning the pot on the turn and how often he's going to b/f and c/f also how often the fish is stacking off. But readless probably like 66+,78s+,J9s+.


2. You're in the BB, and it's folded to BU, who is a solid winning TAGG. He opens for 3bb, SB folds. Again 100bb deep.
Again this way too dependent on postflop factors to even have ANY idea what to do here. As a default something like 3b TT+ planning to ship over most 4bs, AJs+. Flat A8s-ATs,56s+,68s+,3b like 44-66 when dynamic is calling for it and ship over a 4b. Flat 77+(including like 10% KK+) and like suited broadways + KQ/KJ. Like this shit is so dependent on his opening % and cbet % and fold to donk % and fold to c/r % and 2barrel % and shit man.

3. You're on the BU, MP1 unknown opens for 3bb with 80bb, MP2 who is a reg calls with 120bb, CO who is a feesh with 60bb calls.
3b like JJ+,AJ+ and probably bluff like never. Flat 22+,56s+,68s+,J8s+, all suited broadways, all suited Ax.

4. A 80/30 crazy person opens in MP for 6bb, he's running good and 200bb. You're BU.
If we are 200bb deep w/ him and he actually is crazy postflop we can flat well something like 22+,87s+,97s+,J8s+, suited broadways etc. Axs...I guess and 3b I guess like TT+,AJ+

5. Same as above, but you're SB and he's BU.
Just tighten up a bit ldo

it goes to show how much better at poker i have to get, but anyway.

for 1, what range did you assume UTG to have here? i tried to keep the questions general but i realize now that it makes quite a massive difference whether the bottom of his range is 99 or JJ.

This is really interesting since I do it the other way around and would rather flat A2-A5s and 3b A6-A9s. Reason being A2-A5s have some straight making capabilities whereas A6-A9s don't, so intuitively I would like to keep spr larger.

What's the reasoning for not flatting 22-55 and SCs lower than 78s like 54s?

Well I wouldn't flat 22-55 just because they aren't going to win on their own like ever and you can pretty much NEVER continue(not that you can continue much more w/ 66-88 but I'm assuming villain isn't a SUPERNIT) unless you bink a set which might be fine depending on how bad the btn is. Once again I'm assuming he isn't a supernit for the scs but 67s and less are just getting too weak or w/e you can't play every SC or villain will just own you anyway. btw baudib you're obviously right about 22+ being better then SCs v a huge nit like some1 opening 99+,AK but if they are opening AQo+,77+,ATs+ and KQs there's a lot of hands we can make fold their on a lot of boards.
