Default Re: I\'m not calling enough (long, 55s, looking for insight)

Here's the problem with using SNGPT. It's often difficult to put your opponent on the correct pushing/calling range to make your calling/pushing decisions. A large fraction of the hands I analyze in SNGPT (ones where I'm really not sure if I made the right choice) come down to the hand range for my opponent, and don't yield any better answer than "it depends." The only way to confirm you're playing correctly is to put your opponent on a range of hands, then see how often you are shown a hand in that range. That takes a long time and a lot of paying attention. As a check, you can confirm in SNGPT that your correct range of hands leads to a correct push/fold decision, but pretty soon I think you'll find the mathematical information way less useful than the subjective "what is he playing?"
