Poker Ranges Explained

Daniel Negreanu

4,071,335 views

In this video I breakdown how to look at a poker hand using ranges and how that has developed over the years. I no longer only think about my hand vs. my opponents hand, but now look at the ranges of hands we could both have in that spot. I touch briefly on counting combinations and their importance in determining ranges. Finally, I talk about how blocker's change the possible combinations an opponent could have. Coming soon we'll release some live hands I recently played and dissect the ranges.

I misread the title, I read it as "Poker Rages Explained". I was looking for you to explain Mike Matusow & Phil Hellmuth. Might have been a good video.

So what kind of a range should I put the guy on if he is all loosey-goosey having his sandwich?

"I keep it pretty elementary so that you'll understand it" well dammnnn

@Travio247 5 years ago

And then you play on the internet and the range you're facing is infinite

If this is just elementary, then I'm screwed.

I love how intellectual this game is. I've been watching a bunch of videos of you and it amazes me when you look at someone and practically know their hand.

Daniel help us understand that anything you do in a poker table conveys information

This guys is a absolute machine, wtf! The speed he splain that perfectly without a break, a cut or a edit. No errors. Just perfect.

You taught me at 17 when I began studying Small Ball. It overhauled my game and gave me a $100k net worth in my mid-twenties. Now you're aiding me again in my early 30's. Thank you Sir.

This guy will always be my favorite poker player. So damn smart, so even keeled, seldom tilts, always fun, funny and interesting. The video where he just keeps tilting Phil Hell Mouth is like the Shawshank movie for me. I’ll click and watch it again every time it pops up.

I'm relatively new to poker, but I've really gotten into it since watching Daniel. He's really animated and generally happy even if he's losing. He's insane at reading people and calling their hands. I've been in a rut recently trying to develop my skills but had a hard time finding exactly where I'm at to develop from there. This video has really helped me to understand some ideas which may be basic to others, but I now have an idea of where I'm at and where I want to go.

I allready knew this stuff but it was hard for me to explain it to somebody. you made it simple.
thanks.

Thanks for this Daniel. I was really big into poker pre-2009 but have not paid attention to it for a long time. You have always been one of my favorite players and this is like having you as a coach!

Thanks Daniel for trying to make poker understandable to us mere mortals! Please keep doing vids like this I know others like me really appreciate it.
