its good that your thinking ranges and that your trying to put opponents on ranges etc, its good that your posting and questioning yourself etc... please don"t stop doing this, in fact u should apply it always...
here in this hand u are just making the mistake of not dumbing down, they"re loose passive / stations who wont fold, they will play weird lines etc..
you"ll lose some big pots cos the bad players will call any draw any part of a flop and then out-draw u, even though u pot bet the flop,the turn etc... they are not concerned what u may or may not have, they have a hand end of story and they will call... its bloody frustrating playing loose players like this but the good news is u will win some bloody big pots...
so dumb down and try not to bluff, if u do then try to do it based on a read, try have an idea of how villains play before attempting anything which lets face it, its to advanced for them to understand what u are repping etc, they either can't understand at that level or they just can't fold even though they know that calling is bad....
ABC sir, rarely bluff and value bet when u have it, when these type of loose passive opponents start betting big or they re-raise u, then fold, even top pair hands, hell even fold overpairs when they re-raise, u only have 1 pair...
keep thinking about your range and your opponent"s range, think about all your options and determine which is the best, this is how you improve... just know and learn when to apply it, as u move up in stakes and u play better players then all this learning new concepts and thinking ranges etc as u do now WILL eventually come in handy...
accept that the rules are different PLAYING THESE TYPE OF PLAYERS, adjust.....
