YOU HAVE A PLAYABLE HAND AND POSITION. YOU AREN'T STEALING SHIT.
This is the MINIMUM range you should be opening on the button (full ring, figure card bunching effects.)
22+,A2s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,98s,87s,76s,65s,54s,AT o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo
That's the top 23% of hands.
My personal range looks more like this on a tight day, when I get frisky I'll go wider (for better or worse)
22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q7s+,J8s+,T8s+,97s+,86s+,75s+,64s+,5 4s,A7o+,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o
That's the top 33% of hands.
I play against people who "activly defend their blinds" all the time in loose live games and use those same ranges to MURDER them. What they really mean is that "I'll call your button raise with a bunch of shitty cards, then play them badly even accounting for the fact that I'm out of position." I win soooo many stacks and set-up thin river bets this way. In fact I raise to 4x in live games because I want the pot bigger when they call.
