MERGE

i think it's a merge against some villains for sure, but perhaps not against the villain in the actual hand

I'd think it was really more a 'merge' depending on image right? If OP was a 9/7 - I'd argue this was a definite merge and their ranges are permapolarized.

For a 50/30, not so much.

Merging ranges is fully dependent on having rigidly defined ranges whether they arise from players style or how a certain situation played out.
