    i guess there would not be as many.. but I feel that that is not overly important in itself. Obviously understanding our ranges strength vs the villains range is a very important and valuable concept. But most times the strength of a LP range is not so important because of the positional disadvantage staring straight into the face of the BB.

    What i mean to say is..
    I'm positionally aware, and consider the buttons weaker range in these situations. But that doesnt mean i'm going to be bluffing him off his hand very often because i'll get myself in trouble and be forced to slow down, giving away too much info about the strength of my hand and being bluffed off it on the turn or river.

    Maybe i suck and this is a leak though..

    c/r flops vs baisc abc regs who open in late position at micros and low stakes is the nuts when they have a somewhat positionally aware opening range.

    You should defo be playing back much more frequently vs BU ranges than you do UTG ranges.

    I think finding spots where we can rep a strong range depends on a good understanding of our opponent's understanding of our ranges, or basic ranges, in various positions and how he expects us to play on various boards textures. As a general example, a middling suited board like 967Jdd would be a great spot to check/ship on the turn if we are in the BB vs a UTG+1 PFR and there is ample FE.

    From the button having a wide PFR is good because we have a 'wide' range. It gives us the option to barrel off on a lot of boards and the opp in the blinds is conscious of this. However I think this concept works better as the stakes go higher. At 50nl-100nl against a nit I would give up on flops that hit his flatting range and if i have no equity. Balance goes out the window against idiots and so we never have to bluff, we can value bet damn thin and we can steal and pick up a lot of blinds with ease.
