poker ranges are they worth learning ?

[grower]

this seems a very difficult skill to learn I seen the videos read the books. but its very slow at sinking in any tips

It gets easier the more you do it. Concentrate on the edges of the range, like what is the lowest J I can open here?
You can slowly learn charts that way instead of trying to take on the whole thing at once

When I started playing poker, I just learnt as I went along. The knowledge I gained was easy to absorb because it was gained in a practical way. I can't say that my approach is right or wrong, but now that I've been playing poker for more than 8 years, I have pretty good results. Although I think if I had studied properly, I would have had good results faster.

Unfortunately I think continual repetition is the best way to learning ranges.

If you have a HUD you can create a tag for preflop spots and tag any hands you want to look at in the future, while you're trying to learn ranges you should be doing this quite a lot.

Try and focus on the threshold for making a certain decision, for example if we know A7o is a jam in a certain spot we can assume A8o and up will also be jammed in that spot.

I have a massive piece of paper I write things down like "What is the weakest King X suited I'm shoving in BB with 25bbs vs a CO open.

Also poker isn't about never making mistakes, it's about making fewer mistakes than your opponents, a few directed minutes of study will put you ahead of many of the players in your games.

I hope this helps

Balancing ranges is an important and valuable skill for a poker player. It develops and improves with experience. It will work better for a player if he knows the characteristics of the opponent with whom he is fighting at the poker table.The further we move down the streets in the hand, the narrower the ranges become, with preflop being the widest and the river being the narrowest.

Yea the fastest way I found to get your charts down is to learn the edges like someone else said.

Its extremely important. The better you get at putting people on ranges the better your results will be. You also need to understand what your range should be, and what your perceived range is.

Have you taken the courses? free videos on this on cardschat? make a copy of the chart start learning about your opponents range....then you will be more aware of your own....to me its pretty easy actually but ive been playing like 45 years....yet each year this is one of the things on the course i do each year....and always keep looking into when feel im making mistakes....

Not really, your not playing the big games....

Playing recreationally involved players and some studied players ( club).

Be aware... but

In online poker ?? I think they change them all the time . In live poker it worths learning ranges of cards for every stack size and position , but on online poker it doesn't worth it . Anyway I can't find a satisfactory range chart online so ...

It is a good idea to have a bit of knowledge about ranges if your villains also have,
but with players that open any 2 nice looking cards in any position it can be very frustrating to have this knowledge.
Especially when they win enormous.
