Mostly for fun I'd like to play around with balancing different preflop ranges when I'm RFI. It just seems like it's the correct way to play NLHE and I doubt it'll hurt me much to try it even if I don't get my balances quite right because nobody is going to be able to work out exactly what I'm doing so I might as well start messing around with it even if I'm 100% certain I'll be doing it wrong. This thread is just for brainstorming what we might want to do with different hand-types as criteria for designing those different ranges. I suspect that we'll want all profitable preflop opens to appear in our ranges with some frequency but we'll want to bias the ranges to the hands which do best for those sizes.

Here's an initial brainstorm, I assume things will change drastically depending on position but at least this is a start:

Big raises:
Good at: taking blinds down, getting 100bbs in in 3-4-5bet lines, getting value preflop
Strong candidates: Premium stack-off hands, weaker SCs which like to fight 3bets by 4bet bluffing, strong bluffing hands which don't want to be multiway (Q9s?)
Weak candidates: Hands which fold out dominated hands (AJo). Hands which often lose the pot HU after the flop (low/mid-PPs).
On flops: this will probably be a good range to play OOP because it will flop a lot of polarized values to bet with.

Small raises:
Good at: defending against 3bets with calls, attacking blinds with wider holdings, taking pots multiway
Strong candidates: multiway hands (JTs) and hands which call 3bets (KQs). Hands which excel in multiway pots (66, A5s).
Weak candidates: hands which push equity but not by large enough amounts to want calls preflop (88-99?). Hands which can't play passively (65s).
On flops: this range will probably play much more passively on flops as it will typically flop far more weak top pair-type holdings.

Limps:
Good at: seeing multiway flops, reopening the betting against us, playing the widest range possible with position postflop. (because of this I don't actually think limping UTG has much merit despite it seeming to be the most common place to limp other than SB but maybe I am misevaluating).
Strong candidates: hands which are happy to see a multiway flop and also happy to see betting reopened to 3bet (probably AA, 99, but not QQ, AKs but not AKo). hands which play well postflop, even multiway, but can't defend in any way against a 3bet (K9s, 33, A2-A5s which are above another range's 4bet bluff quota).
Weak candidates: hands which play poorly multiway (JJ, AQo), hands which are unhappy to face a raise but strong enough to play other ways (77, J9s)
On flops: this range will often face a heads-up flop against an 82%bb range of worst hands or something, or it will face a multiway flop, or it will face a flop where it limp-called against a strong and linear range. I have no idea how any of this works, I have never played a strategy that intentionally open-limped hands in my life, I might have to try limping SB for a while to get a feel for how hands play out.

Interested in what you guys think about this sort of stuff and if you have any intuitions on how playing these ranges changes by position in 6max or if you disagree strongly with any of the things I've said.
