Hand Possibilities
 

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is in the correct place or not (apologies if not).

I currently play on Prima .50/1.00, and am doing ok.

I purchased poker tracker a while back along with pokertrackerguide, and this has helped me plug some of my leaks.

However, whilst I know a bit about the other features of poker tracker, I feel I don't know enough about the stats of the people I play with.

What I mean by this is that I read a lot of posts on here where people post the stats. e.g. 15.1/6.6/0.8. Obviously I know these are the VPIP, PFR etc.

However, I can't seem to relate these to the hands people will play.

Are there any posts on here that would show things like :

A 15.1/6.6/0.8 player will usually only limp with x, raise with y etc....

I've already searched but I'm not sure what I should be looking for,

Thanks in advance.

J.

You'll get better at determining hand ranges with experience. Also, cosider their VPIP relative to yours. If yours is 20/12, what would a 16/8 player raise? How about 60/1?

As good as PT is though, the stats do not account for peoples' stupidity. Just because somebody is raising 8% of their hands, doesn't necessarily mean that it's the top 8%. This is why getting specific reads is important.

The best thing to do is to first put your opponent on a range of hands. Then on each street, look at his action and figure out what in that range he may play that way. By process of elimination you can get his range close to his holding. Ofcourse this is not 100%, and reads are very important, the stats will only do so much for you.
