Poker Ranges Explained

  • In this video I breakdown how to look at a poker hand using ranges and how that has developed over the years. I no longer only think about my hand vs. my opponents hand, but now look at the ranges of hands we could both have in that spot. I touch briefly on counting combinations and their importance in determining ranges. Finally, I talk about how blocker's change the possible combinations an opponent could have. Coming soon we'll release some live hands I recently played and dissect the ranges.

    You taught me at 17 when I began studying Small Ball. It overhauled my game and gave me a $100k net worth in my mid-twenties. Now you're aiding me again in my early 30's. Thank you Sir.

    I'm relatively new to poker, but I've really gotten into it since watching Daniel. He's really animated and generally happy even if he's losing. He's insane at reading people and calling their hands. I've been in a rut recently trying to develop my skills but had a hard time finding exactly where I'm at to develop from there. This video has really helped me to understand some ideas which may be basic to others, but I now have an idea of where I'm at and where I want to go.

      ive played for a living for over 10 years and the game got so more complicated because where theres money to make it will attract people. people started giving poker lessons so the field got much better. to have an edge on better players you needed to evolve your game and balance it so it becomes less predictable. so to make a living of out poker in 2018 you need to be very advanced or find good games like the lower limits like 1-2. still there you'll need to know how to exploit your opponents.

It all boils down to the feel of the game that some of us simply don't have and the calcs-calculations where you just go off the probabilities. Thank you for this video.

    But i've watched a lot of videos these past weeks where you are playing. You're really good, and nearly always "know" what cards your opponent has. To a point where i would call it amazing.

      you dont have to understand ranges in order to raise or call a raise with AK preflop. Playing ranges doesnt mean that other person has to understand ranges, these are just basic premium hands that people will play according to their value. People who bet half the hands with garbage do it not because they dont understand the value of their hand but because they think that they can get away with bluffs easier than they actually would.
      If someone youre playing doesnt use ranges as part of their strategy, would simply not have any idea what you might be holding. SO what youre implying here would only work to your advantage not against you.

      Playing normal people can be boring since you have to play standard tight poker. As others have said, you can limp in with looser hands if everyone is scared of betting pre-flop but generally, you'll bluff way less (if at all) and rely on premium hands.
      Once you watch some showdowns you can begin to put players on their own weird selective ranges.

    The term "range" might not have been uttered in the so-called old days, but Negreanu certainly put the concept front and center during the TV boom era. Any time he said something like, "you either have pocket eights, QJ or a big ace," he was essentially defining a range (and more specifically, giving examples of it).
    I'd actually credit Negreanu for my first introduction to hand ranges. I used to think poker was about deducing the opponent's exact two cards. The famous table talk was a great lesson in putting an opponent on a variety of holdings, then figuring out the likelihood of the various possibilities.
    Of course, I'm still trying to master the art of balancing my own range. I'm sure I'd be an open book to any skilled player because I probably don't have enough river bluffs, especially in games like triple draw and stud. :p

      I hate to be that guy, but I'm gonna be that guy... She didn't get to be Number 8 in the world without winning... she just never won a Grand Slam Singles Title or a WTA title. But for years, she was dominant in doubles - winning 16 WTA titles and 2 Grand Slams (Aussie 1999, 2002). She was really damn good... ranked Number 1 in the world in doubles in 1999. That's why I refuse to call AK "Anna Kournikova" - not only because she *did* win (a lot), but also because AK also wins all the time... so... it's like two misconceptions in one... which... I guess technically makes it right for the wrong reasons.

      The combinatrix puts you on a pocket pair. She puts your face on that pocket pair with her bootheel on your skull. Next time you bust before the final table, she will make you eat what remains of your roll. You thought you could be a professional, you worm? Go back to living in your car and grinding the 1/2 at the Flamingo until you realize your mom was right.
      She'll be in the Tower Suites at the Aria getting it on with some Phil while you wait plaintively for her at Le Cirque. And you'll pay her anyway.

      Perhaps you have read that A5s is a good hand to 5b bluff shove with because you block AA/AK/AQ etc and when you get called you have decent equity. BUT what they do NOT tell you is that you ALSO block A5s/55/54/56 and so on. So, combinatrixally, you block more than you might think. In addition, A5s is a great hand to CALL a 5b shove with because you BLOCK A5s, so it is more likely your opponent is 5b bluff shoving with hands like A2-A4s, which you dominate.
