SPR Zones: •SPR 1-2: Stack off with overpairs, top pair/top kicker. •SPR 3-5: Proceed more cautiously; fold TPGK to big aggression from nits. •SPR >5: Avoid unless holding strong hands Vs loose-passive players: •Open tighter. •Value-bet relentlessly. •No bluffing. Vs aggressive regs: •3-bet tighter, trap with top range. •Check-raise more with strong made hands. Opening Ranges by Position: •UTG (8-9%): •66+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs •UTG+1 (9-10%): •55+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs, QJs •MP1 (10-11%): •44+, ATs+, AJo+, KQs, QJs, JTs •MP2 (12-13%): •33+, A9s+, ATo+, KJs+, QJs, JTs, T9s •HJ (14-15%): •22+, A8s+, ATo+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, 98s, 87s •CO (20-22%): •Any pair, A2s+, A9o+, all suited broadways, QTo+, JTo, most suited connectors •BTN (35-40%): •All pairs, all suited aces, all broadways, most suited connectors and one-gappers, all suited kings down to K2s, offsuit broadways and gappers •SB (25-30%): •Strong suited aces, broadways, suited connectors — raise or fold, avoid limping •BB: •Defend tighter vs. early opens; wider vs. CO/BTN.
