Re: Methods used to determine calling ranges
[ QUOTE ]
If you want to try to qualify the results in %s, then one thing you can try is to first convert each of the K/S rankings into a percentage. Then every-time you see a player call your push in a certain situation that you are examining, write down the %-rank. Finally after getting lots of these find the mean and double it. EG:
Average donk / called SB push with effective stack of 8BB / 1st SB->BB push : 10%, 8%, 9%, 20%, 13%, 5%, 2%, 8%, ...
(10+8+9+20+13+5+2+8)/8=9.375%, 9.375*2 = 18.75%
So you can now assume that if he is using the K/S ranking system and only calling the top N% vs you, the cut-off he is using is about top 19% of hands (this should also give you a rough and ready idea about your fold equity too). You need quite alot of data to do this though, but you should get some idea (perhaps +/- 5%) of calling range %'s in different situations by trying it out.

Why double it?
