Versus one limper who is an obvious bad player fish , you can isolate even wider with your entire Cutoff range. The exception is in the blinds. I recommend isolating with your Early Position range only. The positional disadvantage warrants tightening up. The ranges in my pre-flop charts are based on sound theory and practical experience. Opening Ranges are based on the concept of variable positional ranges, or more commonly known as being positionally aware.
While the gap concept has lost a bit of merit somewhat over the years and decisions are now based more on the EV of a play, it still holds true for the exercise of range building. Deciding which hands to include in your standard open raising range from various positions is determined mostly by what your position will likely be after the flop.
The earlier your position the more likely someone behind you will have a premium hand. Also, if you get called, you are more likely to be playing out of position. These are the reasons you play more tightly UTG than you do on the button.
Hands played out of position that are not profitable, suddenly become winners when played in position. As a result, our entire opening range should be geared toward playing more hands in position than our opponents and fewer hands out of position.
Therefore, as we get closer to the button our opening frequency should steadily increase. When it comes to deciding on what ranges to call or reraise with, the gap concept is a useful tool. Generally, you will use a tighter range to counter your opponent. The exact range and how you structure the range largely depends on your fold equity and what type of opponent you face. Before I get too complicated with this, I point you in the direction of my poker strategy guide.
If you like the way these charts are designed you may also want to check out my free short stacking strategy guide.
I provide full basic ranges for 20 to 50bb play and even include a chart that tells you exactly what to do post-flop. I hope these charts serve you well at the tables. Just remember that they are not a panacea and you will have to spend time learning strategy and how to adjust to your opponents. Even so, the ranges are much better than just going it alone with no guide at all.
However, if you do not have a lot of experience or are currently a losing player, it is very likely that you will perform better at the table using these charts rather than just winging it. These charts are based on sound theory and over 10 years of experience. I am well-known for creating easy to read charts for short and mid-stack players. In fact, my short stacking system has been proven to turn losing players into instant winners at the micro-stakes and sometimes higher.
What other poker systems can claim that? I want to lift the level of play for everyone. My goal is for it to become common knowledge that poker is a game of skill.

So that enthusiasts like me can enjoy the freedom to play anywhere and anytime we want.
