Is focus on reviewing large pot hands overrated?

they are a decent starting point but seem slightly dated and out of whack.

So many more 3bet / 4bet bluffs compared to value hands which will leave you very vulnerable to reraises

Thanks for the info.

However, I am getting a bit confused. Where can I find a solid and up to date pre-flop strategy for the lowest NL limits?
It seems most of the online resources, regardless if it is free or not, is either outdated or applies to NL100+.

I know there is some fairly recent video material of people playing NL10 and lower. However watching videos alone does not work for me very well.
I would appreciate any recommendation as what to study? 🙏

construct your own ranges

3bet ~0.25-0.33 of your opponent's opening range
4bet ~0.12 of your own opening range
fold 40-50% of open raises vs 3bets
Use a 1:1 or 60:40 value:bluff ratio for your 3bet/4bet/5bet ranges

if the ranges/strategy doesn't specify how to adjust to different players, then it's just a very robotic and static strategy. You will need some sort of formula to know how to adjust to different opponents. Basically you need to use "multipliers" to aid in your range construction, and you can insert what you think your opponents' typical frequencies are and then come up with something appropriate.

anyway i have a course on preflop ranges, send me an email at galvin.bay@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing/getting more information.

Thanks, I really appreciate this. I will consider it.

Right now I want to create a solid foundation and beat NL2/NL5 😅. And then maybe I will think about throwing money at it, for coaching, courses or tools.
