POKER RANGES 101 | James “SplitSuit” Sweeney

Learn Poker Video Source & Info:

Poker ranges are a collection of ALL possible hands a player could have right this moment. Instead of trying to pinpoint a player’s exact two hole cards and their suits, which is a near-impossible task, we instead focus on hand reading the range of hands they would play in a given situation.

Want to improve your skills with #poker #ranges? Start practicing today with my new Poker Math & Preflop Workbook available at https://www.splitsuit.com/preflop

In this video, SplitSuit breaks down what ranges are in poker. You’ll learn about the various ways we discuss ranges including percentage form, the visual range matrix, combos, and the range strand. You’ll see how frequencies correlate with the range your opponent might have. And you’ll walk away with 5 ranges you should 100% memorize (starting at 8:27).

Remember that if this seems too complex at first, some practice with software (even free software like Equilab), will help get you up to speed. Hand reading is both an art and a science, but there is a lot more science than most players assume. Work to understand how frequencies relate to the actual preflop range, and you’ll be able to make better estimates at the table while setting yourself up for postflop hand reading success!

  1. Anyone know how he clicks a hand like 54s and it automatically selects the better suited connectors as well?

  2. Thanks very much for such detailed video on Poker ranges. I've purchased your workbook which is really useful for developing solid preflop skills. . It helps so much during real play because if you know what ranges your opponent is playing from what position then your mind is already mathematically trained and you know where your stand preflop. Needless to say that once the flop comes you already know how hard it has hit your opponent!

  3. Hello james, if you use a hud, can i compare preflop VPIP/PFR to a certain range, so lets say its 8/5 over 200 hands can i say then he plays 8 % of its range or is this a wrong kind of thinking.
    either way thankyou very much for the vid i learned a lot from it

  4. As a new poker player – how would you start with ranges? i.e. i've seen lots of tightish preflop ranges – do you think the best way is to learn / practice using these ranges until i know them and then as i play more make them tight / looser based on players etc.?

  5. Hi James. If you buy the hardcopy. I understand it comes with the answer key. But it would be nice to have the digital answer key as well. To use it like you do in the video. Or how does this work?

  6. I highly highly recommend the workbook. I am have been seriously playing for a year, and always struggled to find good consistent studies. This channel is by far the best, and the workbook is just the perfect start to get you the basic poker study fundamentals. Just thought id say this in case other people like me are watching this.
    Cheers!

  7. hey guys can someone who have this book tell me if is  worth it? I'm thinking of buying it, I'm trying for a while finding this kind of stuff to work the maths, and this look like it can really help me.
