R estimation question
Hi,I watched Lefort's videos about PF ranges and I'm trying to make BB cold call ranges vs different sizings and different raise first in percentages(using CREV).I was guesstimating R,but when I compare the ranges I got to what I see Elite pros doing in live sessions it seems my ranges are overly tight,probably because I'm being too conservative with the R's I'm estimating.These are some of the R I guesstimated.(Let's consider a 3x open with a 26% RFI for this)
But then I found these equilab R estimations,they seem much more optimistic than my estimations and in many spots there are big differences in R percentages.
Questions:
1)I always thought a hand like 32o should have R<=40% because It's just a horrible hand.But then after I saw equilab's R estimations I started with the idea that a hand like 32o doesn't have much equity to begin with,so It's not impossible that it has R=70% as equilab chart points out.In the same coin,most hands shouldn't have that big gap in R percentages between them.Question:What do you think about the statement I just made?
2)Equilab's estimations seems to differ a lot from what Lefort guesstimates in his videos.What do you think about equilab R chart to be as a guide to estimate R?Is it too optimistic?

Where did you find these equilab R estimations?
It's from power equilab

Youtube video of how to find it with flop sims.
One of the takeaways from the video is that equity realization depends on both the opening range and flatting range.
There is not any incentives for people to share R values or capture factors with you on an online forum, so don't expect to receive it for free. In normal strategy posts there are incentives for people to post because it is gives the poster practice and they can get critique on their posts.
Maybe you work for Asug???
this really is an interesting topic. R, realizable equity, the hot topic. That equilab sim looks pretty awesome I am going to have to check that out.
i think a chart is perhaps ambitious though. How can we base our R off a universal table? the table does not know anything about player dynamics, all things are out the window; some fish could 6x shove the flop with 7 high on a king high board and a different opponent may be playing perfect GTO, playing the king high board in a totally different manner. All of these variables affect our R. So, seems the best way to get a great grasp of R is to practice it. Be aware of it, continue thinking about it. check your poker database, that will certainly provide the most insight.
And above all else, and why we are here, continue to get better which will result in maxing R. Is 100% exceedable? i dunno, maybe if you're Phil Ivey'ing them bros.
