[THEORY] Few "Range Construcion" Questions
Hey guys
Ive got few theoretical questions related with range construction on Micros.
Lets say we open from CO, behind us there are 3 quite good reg players, so we are gonna be somewhat tighter.
CO open range:
We open to 2.2bb, SB 3B to 9bb.
He risks 8.5bb to win 12.2bb so he has to fold us out of the pot 70% of time, to have autoprofit.
So in the vacuum we have to defend at least 30% of what we open.
*Is it generally a good rule to start off with building defence ranges ?*
Ok so we have to defend about 1/3 off our starting range. (about 100 combos)
We will 4B for value QQ+, AK (34 combos).
We will use Bluff ratio of 1-1 against unk solid reg so number of our bluff combos is gonna be the same as value range. (34 combos)
We know we have to defend about 100 combos so 100-34-34= 32 (number of our flat combos)
So we flat next best hands after our value hands. We choose 99+, AQs, KQs,QJs,JTs.
Next best hands gonna be used as a 4B bluffs. ATs+, KTs+, QTs+.
We end up with pretty tight/nitty range.
This is our base.
On what conditions would you try to expand this range on micros ?
If we know villain tends to fold a lot to 4B, what ratio of value to bluffs would use ? 1-2, 1-3 ?

First thought is sb has equity while bluffing when called preflop. its not a river decision where a bluff has zero equity. So i think that means you dont have to defend 30% necessarily. But i would defend more playable postflop hands if they have a 10% 3b.
Corgi already said about equity. If we never play postflop we need to defend ~1/3 combos, but because we will call some hands vs 3bet we have to fold much less.
However you got good point, ''nitty range'' probably more profitable at micros considering rake and overfolding not a huge issue. Woudn't want to expand this range too much, but certainly can due if my opposition play not good and let me win more postflop or realize too much equity.
This would depend on how many % he is folding. He can fold 60% 70% 90%, vs all those numbers in theory* we can 4bet any 2 cards. In practise it is easy to notice and hard to get database to confirm high folding vs 4bet numbers
Gl!
Your thought process has at least two errors:
I would defend any suited Ace and pockets down to 55 and more suited connectors like T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s
