"vs. FRI" Ranges - Looking for some critical feedback

Hey runitonce community,

I cam currently working my way through the Red Chip Core program. I was trying to come up with ranges for various positions vs. the FRI of different positions based on their recommended percentages.

It would be absolutely awesome if you could take a look at them and point out some major flaws - as I am sure there are probably quite a lot. You can find the Position vs. the opening position in the left column of those screenshots.

I will be playing micros and am aware that will probably have to deviate from these ranges quite a lot to exploit my opponents and that my ranges should probably be a little tighter due to rake (?).

Best regards

In Applications of No Limit Hold'em, Janda has a lot of pre-flop charts. I would just memorize those, and then adjust based on how you want to exploit.

Hello,

It is much easier to create opening ranges than to create calling or 3-betting ranges because you have many more parameters to consider: not only you have to consider the profile making the RFI, but you also have to consider the RFI sizing, the RFI frequency, the gap concept, the profile of the villain(s) calling the RFI before you, the profile of those who come after you, their respective stack depths and many possible scenarios according to all these profiles. That is enough to make your calling / 3-betting ranges versus RFI more elastic than your opening ranges; in other words, if you want to print all your calling / 3-betting ranges with many foreseen scenarios, make sure you have good cartridges. :-D

That said, there are some general guidelines. For example, concerning 99-22, you can call any RFI from any position, in which case all you need is to make sure you have enough implied odds versus a short stack or versus a 3-bet.

I have heard that Janda’s PF ranges are the worst part of this book, unlike his thinkings about postflop actions.

Hi Victor and thanks for your comprehensive answer.

I've constructed some opening ranges as well and am pretty confident about them being fine.

Obviously, these ranges have to be extremely eleastic and you have to generalize for a decent extend here - thats why I was just asking for so. to check if there are any major flaws.

Next, I want to construct some "respond to 3bet"-ranges. I would assume that those are much less complex for 100bb stacks (?). I feel like I am especially unsure about how wide you can call 3bets nowadays. But thats not the topic of this thread :)
