Hi guys, my first post here. I'd like to say thanks ahead of time for all the info you guys put out here, it's really helped me out a lot. I've only been playing for about 6 months and I've recently reached the point at which I realize how much I don't know about poker and realized there's more to it than TAG starting hand charts and memorizing pot odds. I'm currently working on getting my BR to $500 or $600 at the $10NL 6-max tables at PokerStars so I can move up to $25NL.

My question is, how do you go about forming positionally aware ranges on your opponents? I'm having a really hard time learning how to accurately place my oppenets on hands, right now I seem to be stuck just feeling out when I'm ahead or not.

I would really like to be able to work out ranges like you guys do but I'm just not sure how. A lot of these posts talk about how you should take such and such action based on your opponets opening range from MP1 or his 3-bet range from UTG or whatever, but I really don't know how to form these assumptions.

Right now I'm simply going off what my ranges are, but that doesn't seem like an accurate way to play against all the many different sorts of players I run into.

Any tips at all? I'm really feeling stuck here. Thanks.
