Im heading towards my 300th post and when I get there I want to see If I can post something worthwhile , I really need my 300 th post giving something back to the FTR community .


Im going to make a decent stab at mastering Equity and Range precision. And help is definately needed.


BB just sat down 25/25/ over 4 hands

Hero ($12.95)

BB ($5)

Pre-Flop: ($0.12, 6 players) Hero is CO

Everybody limped, so I threw in a raise to tax limers.
Hero raises to $0.25

Everyone folds except UTG (who exits soon) and the BB who flat calls.

Pre flop Range attempt

THe BB flat called my c/o raise . Im guessing its ok to miss out AA,KK,QQ because he would 3 bet presumably.

JJ-22, A2s+, KJs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, AQo,KQo

Is my range realistic ?


Flop: ($0.82, 3 players)
BB checks, Hero raises to $0.85, BB raises to $1.60, UTG folds, Hero raises to $3, BB goes all-in $4.75, $1.75 to Hero

Using these as my temple of study

Step 1: Identify the size of the pot.

$8.67and its costing me $1.75 to call.


Step 3: Determine your equity by one of the previously mentioned methods (using PokerStove or others).


His check raise looks like trips or a nut flush draw, but calculating the equity , I think I have to include hands that could get it all in. Even though , I hit my straight.


77.626% { 5h4h }
22.374% { JJ-99, 77, 5c5d, 5c5s, 4c4d, 4c4h, 4c4s, 33-22, AcKc, AcQc, AcJc, AcTc, Ac9c, Ac8c, Ac7c, Ac6c, Ac5c, Ac4c, KcQc, KcJc, KcTc, QcJc, QcTc, JcTc, Tc9c, 9c8c, 8c7c, 7c6c, 6c5c, 5c4c }


equity 77.63%

Step 4: Figure the fraction bet size/(bet size + pot size).

1.75/(1.75+8.67)=0.167946257

fraction bet 16.78%
equity 77.63%

So its +ev.



Is it realistic to include AcKc, AcQc, AcJc, AcTc, Ac9c, Ac8c, Ac7c, Ac6c, Ac5c, Ac4c, KcQc, KcJc, KcTc, QcJc, QcTc, JcTc, Tc9c, 9c8c, 8c7c, 7c6c, 6c5c. because he hasnt comleted his hand yet ?

Is there anywhere im off mark ?

I havent included blockers or anything else , I want to concentrate range and equity .
