Flops, or transforming 22k into a handful

So, I have been lately working on range awareness. I'll give you an example: we open raise from the BU (let's say ~52%) and the flop comes:

A:d T:s 5:s

Out of our ~580 combos, we have:

value hands:
9 sets (1.6%)
18 twopair (3.1%)
120 TP (21%)
66 2nd pair (11.4%)

draws:
28 flushdraws (4.9%)
48 gusthost (8.3%)

So we have here about 76 bluffs and 213 value hands, and about 60% equity vs a random hand. I want to be able to do this roughly on the tables.

My goal here would be trying to learn this, and I've been thinking on this method:

  • for a given range, consider a handful of possible flops [say, up to 7, one per finger (!!)].
  • for those flops, note how many value combos I have, how many draws combo I have and the equity against a random holding (just for the sake of it, to see how "well" a board hits my range).
  • in a real situation, keep in mind the numbers I had seen earlier and adjust them slightly

so my questions would be:

1. do you think this will be helpful? I admit it might not, but I had just thought about it the other day and I didn't dislike it that much to be honest [it looks like it's going to take some work nevertheless].

2. what flops (I mean, actual CARDS) would you choose for this? that's what I find hard to think of now.

1. Yes
2. Dry flop, fairly dry, medium, whet, scary. Shaken, not stirred.

The equity trainer in Equilab isn't too shabby either. Could be a complementary approach to grind it 10 min/day.
