Hand Reading Practice

[doppelganger]

Grunching:

i. Someone raising 15% overall and playing more tightly from UTG should have a very narrow and fairly easily definable range. (Unless they are mixing it up for some reason.) I would put him generally on the same opening range I use, possibly dropping one or 2 of the bottom of my range since he's a little tighter than me. Let's say: 44+,AJs+,AQ+,KQs

2. Smooth calling in position eliminates any hand worth 3-betting so I would assume you're set/straight/flush mining or have a possibly dominated hand like AQ/AJ that you want to play cautiously. Let's say: 22-88, 46s-TQs, 56s-TJs, AJ,AQ

3. That is the same range I would flat call with on the button against a TAG's UTG raise.


Edit for Flop: Ok, I think as others have said that he could be feigning weakness intending to get raised w/ a monster or a monster draw. Your flat call probably narrows down your original range to PP's that missed and draws.
