Interpreting Data and Range Building for PIO
Hi all,
I'm starting to work with PIO for the first time, but am not confident when it comes to building villain's ranges.
I'm a Bovada Zone player, and have looked at about 140k hands worth of info in PT4. I've also synced it up to Hand2Note, in hopes of learning more about player pool tendancies.
Much of this information makes ranges look quite diffuse, with concentrations in areas we might expect. For example, there are a lot of broadway combos, particularly off suit, in BTN vs UTG flatting ranges.
I'm just wondering if I'm going about this in the right way.
Should I be accounting for the less common combos that show up a small % of the time?
Should I be focusing more on just plugging in more routine or expected ranges?
Many thanks!

There is no definitive answer. If you make ranges defined, you find a specific exploit against that preflop range on a flop.
I usually like to start with a core and add some fringe hands with a small frequency. At lower stakes I find it more practical/realistic to make ranges more mixed and then change villains flop strategy. Villains flop strategy generally matters more than getting his exact preflop range correctly even though his flop strategy depends on his preflop range.
