what does it mean...
...when you have appropriate VPIP/PFR stats for every position except CO? I just did an analysis and found out that I'm really passive in CO, about 35%, while I'm about 80% in every other position. EDIT: Other than the blinds, of course.

Ah, but the devil is always in the details.
what is appropriate for every position?
Depends on your style. A nit might be 9/7, a TAG might be 15/12, a LAG might be 35/30. A fish might be 80/0....
my range....you want MY range......YOU COULDN'T HANDLE MY RANGE.....
but all hilarious joking aside...your looking to play the same range as your button hands and adjust for a few things like wether the button will flat or 3bet lots or how the blinds play pre and post flop.
Were talking like pairs, suited aces, a9o and better, suited broadway, maybe all broadway and a few suited connectors........
but really i just mash buttons....
Thanks for giving me your range. It'll be useful if we're ever at the same table. But in terms of "a few" suited connectors, I rarely play any below T9. Am I ripping myself off?
but theres others who are better who usually pipe in if i say something crazy off.
What are you mad about?
if we find we are losing from this position or not doing well we can drop to 88+, aq+, ajs+, kqs...
from here if the button and blinds are tight we can add some hands, best to add hands that play well when called...like suited aces and suited broadway...that we can continue to barrel with draws or back door draws.
if they are loose pre flop but tight post flop we can add more suited connectors like t9s or 87s and barrel anytime we hit anything
if they three bet lots we can lower our raise size and flat in position with our intial semi strong range. or we can tighten up and 4bet the stronger parts of our range....
if they are really tight we can open up suited high cards like k7s
same as the button but you just have to adjust for how the button plays...does he flat 3bet or fold alot..
I'm hesitant to give advice preflop because it's better to not follow a robot strategy, but if someone put a gun to my head and asked for a "good enough" until I learn how to think strategy...
I open about 40%+ of my hands in the button,
AX
22+
offsuit connected 76+
suited connectors 5+
suited 1 gappers 5+
suited 2 gappers 6+
suited 3 gappers 7+
any two Offsuited cards T+
any two suited cards 9+
Other crap...
I open about less than 10% of hands in early position.
My favorite...
Agreed. The hidden message here is you're betting your position... if the situation is right you don't need to even look at your cards. Look left and if the blinds look like they don't like their hands when they pre-peek, bet and take it down without looking. Or online if the blinds are something like 10/7 that folds to a steal 80+% bet any two cards.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
Vekked, when you say 10K to 15K hands, do you mean that many hands overall or that many hands in each position?
