    Default Hand range practice

    So, at the risk of upsetting too many people I'd like to try another hand range.

    I have over 250 hands against the villain in SB and his stats are: 12.82/5.41/2.38

    I'm not going to use the Aggression factor because, to be honest, I'm really not sure how to.
    As you can see the final result is a bit too small and I'm sure I must be doing something wrong along the way, but I'm not sure what.

    Pacific Poker - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 7 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

    BTN: $1.93
    SB: $3.94
    Hero (BB): $2.00
    UTG: $1.90
    UTG+1: $2.04
    MP: $0.40
    CO: $2.00

    SB posts SB $0.01, Hero posts BB $0.02

    Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has K J

    UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.02, SB raises to $0.08, Hero calls $0.06, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.06


    So, his range preflop = 5.4% = 88+,AJs+,KQs,AKo according to Pokerstove. There isn't anything unlikely in that so I'll leave it as it is.


    Flop: ($0.28, 3 players) 5 4 9
    SB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

    His first to act after flop check percentage = 31.58% = about a third of his range.


    So we'll take the bottom third of his range .

    His current range gives 16 + 4 + (4+4+4) +(7x6) = 16 + 4 +12 +42 = 74 combos

    31% of 74 = 23 combos, and those will be the bottom 23 combos.
    However, I have a K and a J so that takes out 3 combos each?

    23 -3 -3 = 17 combos = 88,99,AKo, which is really about 25 combos but I don't see how to split AKo.


    Turn: ($0.28, 3 players) 8
    SB checks, Hero checks, BTN checks

    His Turn check percentage is 46% so that puts him on the bottom 12 of his range and that would be 88,99.
    But, since he didn't raise he can't have 99 and then on Turn he can't have 88 or a flush.


    River: ($0.28, 3 players) 2
    SB bets $0.14, fold, fold

    River he bets, but that doesn't seem to hit his range at all so maybe he is just guessing neither of us did either.

    SB wins $0.27

    Clearly I've gone wrong somewhere unless he really did have AKo.
