I originally created this blog post in 2015 to provide conservative pre-flop ranges for beginning and struggle micro stakes poker players, including open-raising ranges, cold-calling ranges, and 3-betting ranges however, my advice on implementing those ranges has changed over the years, so I’ve decided to limit this blog post to focus solely on conservative open-raising ranges because open-raising is one of the most fundamental aspects of pre-flop poker that you should master.
