Ranging Analysis: When It Is And Is Not Useful · S8E7
About this episode
This episode discusses the effectiveness of ranging analysis in poker and explores alternative data-driven strategies.
Much of modern #poker strategy revolves around the battle between poker ranges; our own and that of our opponent. But is ranging always the best approach to reaching a decision, particularly since our opponent's range is at best a guess. In this podcast episode, coach w34z3l looks at strategies that largely ignore traditional ranging. These data-driven approaches are based on how our opponents play in reality, rather than some theoretical abstraction. Ranging still has its place, but consistent poker winners need these additional weapons.
