In a fast, short sit n go poker tournament, there is hardly an opportunity to ever play plain old good poker. That is, to play slow thoughtful poker, with plenty of time for thought about the exact two cards in an opponent’s hand. You know, the kind of thoughtfulness afforded by a cash game, or a slow deep-stacked tournament. In our type of tournament, our thoughtfulness usually has to be abbreviated to a quick estimate of an opponent’s possible range of hands rather than a specific holding. And, oftentimes even those estimates are not much more than just a quick intuitive hunch made on the fly. So, in an attempt to quantify possible hand ranges for the more common tournament variables, and thus hopefully aid in our quick estimating; I have put together the following listing based upon the Sklansky-Karlson (S-K) starting hand rankings.
