Determining which parts of a range an opponent is likely to be holding, or deciding which parts of a range you are going to take any given action with.

RANGE DISADVANTAGE

REDRAW

A made hand that has the potential to draw to a better hand. Since this is true of the vast majority of poker hands, the term usually refers to situations where the increase in hand strength is large. For example, a hand like top pair that also has a draw to the nut flush.

RESTEAL

A 3-bet made specifically against a steal.

REVERSE IMPLIED ODDS

The chance that your opponent will deny you equity when certain future conditions are met.

ROI
