Hand Range
Back to LearnWhat Is a Range?
A range is the set of hands someone could have given their position and actions. It's more accurate than guessing a single hand.
Start Broad, Then Narrow
Preflop ranges are widest. Each bet or raise narrows possibilities. By the river, ranges can be very tight.
Think in Buckets
Group hands into categories: strong value, medium value, draws, and bluffs. Decide which buckets take which actions.
Position Matters
Ranges are tighter out of position and wider in late position. Use this to interpret bets and size decisions.
