Default BT, SNGPT, Calling % and tightness/looseness of opponents

I've been working a bit with BT and some with SNGPT as well.

However, I've been wondering a bit about the calling ranges of real players and the perceived "looseness" or "tightness" of players.

We know:
A calling range of 2% = QQ+, AK (obviously tight)
6% = 88+, AQo+, ATs+
9% = 66+, ATo+, A9s+
11% = 44+, A9o+, A8s+, KQs
18% = 33+, A5o+, A2s+, KQo, KTs+
22% = 33+, A3o+, A2s+, KJo+, KTs+, QJs
32% = 22+, A2+, K7o+, K2s+, QTo+, Q9s+, JTs (seems quite loose to me)

What I am not sure of is what the calling range of real players are...

Hypothetical Example 1:
$11 SNG
UTG 5000
BTN 5000
SB (HERO) 5000
BB 5000
Blinds are 400/800
Folded to Hero in SB - Hero's cards are irrelevant for now.

Let's say I've noticed that BB has folded to several steal attempts and has shown down good hands on the few times he's gone to showdown. This leads me to believe he's a fairly typical weak/tight player.

What sort of calling range do you put him on (in terms of %)?

Example 2:
Same as above, except that I have noticed that BB seems quite loose. I've seen him show down a few marginal hands and he plays quite a fair number of pots, although I have not seen him call a pre-flop all in. Seems like a typical loose/passive donk.

What sort of calling range do you put him on (in terms of %)?


I hope this post isn't too vague and general for you guys... I'd just like to generate some discussion regarding calling % and the percieved tightness/looseness of players. Basically, I'm trying to figure out, if I see a 10% in BT, how 'tight' is that? If I see a 25% in BT, how 'loose' is that? i.e. I'm trying to calibrate my tight/loose reads on opponents with calling range%.

I realize that the calling ranges of players depends on things like stack sizes/blinds/# of opponents left, etc.

Probably 13-15% for this guy. Something like 44+, A5o+, A2s+, KQ+

EDIT: He may go a little bit tighter with the aces, but only until he feels bullied at which point his range will open to be any ace and KJ+

Probably something like 27%. 22+, A2+, K9o+, K7s+, QTs+, QJo and maybe JTs
