Hello CCers,

Thinking in ranges is a very powerful idea and has enabled me to make some very good reads and interesting lay downs. It is however very important to take notes and share some of the surprises that you should look out for:

1. Players who call suited connectors or even raise them from early positions like UTG and UTG+1

I have not encountered many players who practice this, but they are around and I have been shocked by a few of them. Imagine a player who raises UTG with 78s and calls your free bet holding AKo and a flop of K78 hits the board and you are betting aggressively on every street thinking that you are ahead after a rainbow community of K7823. Of course I am still having nightmares from the experience.

The others are the suited nuts and pocket pair nuts. These guys call any two suited cards or pocket pairs 22+ and play them very aggressively on every street from any position. I have fallen victim to those lucky river flushes as well as turn and river trips too many times.

So of course think in ranges, it will serve you well for the majority of poker players out there. Just remember to take notes on those players who do not subscribe to the school of thought of the masses. There are players out there who just play the cards that they like from any position just because they like their odds.
