The more we think about the "typical" actions and ranges at our tables, the more we understand how the players around us are probably thinking. Some people say "I'm repping JJ+ here," but you're only repping what they'll believe you'll have which is based on the table culture at your site/stakes.
This is a great point and is a step forward from the Level 1 thinking in my post. "How do the players at my level typically react to various levels of aggression?" is a great question to be asking yourself and can lead you to all sorts of successful ram-and-jam, slow play, check-raise, and bluffing strategies.
