Tariq Haji Thanks for the reply. I use very slightly modified GTO ranges for 500z. I know the rake structure is very different, here are what I'm using (2.5 bb open, 3bb from sb):
UTG 17.5%. 55+, A2s+, K8s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, 76s, 65s, ATo+, KJo+
HJ: 55+, A2s+, K7s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, ATo+, KJo+, QJo
CO: 28.8%: 22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q7s+, J7s+, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 65s, 54s, A8o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo
BU/SB: 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J4s+, T4s+, 94s+, 84s+, 74s+, 63s+, 53s+, 43s, A2o+, K8o+, Q8o+, J8o+, T8o+, 98o
Most surprising are your stealing ranges, my RFI from Bu/SB was around 37% upon review and thought I found a big leak so have been trying to pump it up to almost 50%. My numbers were closer to the ones mentioned but I widened up under the advice of a prominent coach.
I agree with Soinana as well, I have been making some sketchy river calls with my best bluff catchers because 'top of range' yadda yadda and I am always shown the nuts. River donk bets and raises seem to be all value to me, and it's cool to see you happily folding spots that I wouldn't think to, and clearly you aren't getting owned for it. Can you weigh in on these spots regarding river calling ranges? How bad can always folding really be in an anonymous game where you aren't going to be actively exploited? River calls with 'good' canditates are probably the biggest contributor to my losses. I also recently discovered that if a villain is even slightly under bluffing, the best counter is to fold ALL our bluff catchers.
Some more spots that I would love to hear your thoughts are:
-your strategy in responding to 3bets OOP
-completing ranges from the SB and BB facing limps or multiple callers
Thanks for the videos and responses, looking forward to more

The ranges you mentioned in a comment above are quite tight, is this because of the high rake? I'm playing 50NL ,hoping to move to 100NL but am using much wider ranges than these. Do you think there is merit to playing looser than this in a high rake environment?
Thanks for the detailed reply, I'm a RIO noob and couldn't find the reply button :) \ My games (50NL Ignition) are only 3betting around 6-7% in every formation so perhaps I am able to get away with these ranges. Conversely, there are tons of cold calls so the marginal hands probably quickly come losing when multiway.
