Default Re: Reading hands

So far it sounds like everyone is saying pretty much the same thing: that they would like to have their opponents to put them on specific cards, to have their opponents' guesses be wrong, but also to have their opponent be relatively sure they are right.
Obviously this would be the ideal situation, as it is the one that allows us to win the most chips on any particular hand.
However, in my experience these situations are not very common. They are even rarer when playing against good thinking opponents. If you are a good player, a good opponent should put you on a range of hands, adjusting this range with each new piece of information and assigning probabilities to each possible hand in this range, acting accordingly.
If most of your hands are going to occur in situations like this would it not be better for this range of hands to be as wide as possible.
