How can I get better at reading ranges?
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (6 Players)
BN: $10.84 (Hero)
SB: $15.50
BB: $4.35
UTG: $23.81
MP: $4.20
CO: $10.93
SB: $15.50

I want to do give this hand as an example to why I'm asking this question:
Preflop

I'm thinking I'm doing good in here but when I go to equilab and I try to give him a range I end up with: KK, AdAh, AdAc, AhAc, QhQc, AhQh, AcQc, KhQh, KcQc, KsJs, KsTs, JsTs, AdQh, AdQc, AhQc, AcQh, KdQh, KdQc, KhQc, KsQh, KsQc, KcQh, according to what I think is the population average open from EP (which I think it's kind of tight and this guy was 17/0 6h)... So basically strong flush draws and TP (in play I don't think that me holding the As discounts a bunch of his bluffing hands for example) But I'm never folding here ofc although my point is that my assesment of his range here is over optimistic: I'm thinking he has a bunch of draws, sets, TPTK, which he shouldn't, considering he's opening from EP and the fact I'm holding the As I also give him something such as 57 or 78 which it's wrong ofc

I think he has the same range as otf both in play and as above but as above just got stronger

in here for example I'm crushed basically if he doesn't open KQo and/or doesn't play KQs like this. So I just want to ask what do you guys do or have done to improve your range reading, I would like to be able to make clearer assesments. It's the hand reading video series of learning paths worth it(?) (I prefer reading than watching videos). Is there something more specifics than "post a lot hands, discuss a lot of hands"? I don't know anything about combos btw, any advice is welcome! thank you
