Merged
A range weighted toward medium-strong value hands rather than only nuts and bluffs.
In depth
A **merged range** is a hand range structured to include medium-strong value hands rather than being limited to only the strongest (nuts) or bluffs. Unlike polarized ranges, which focus on extremes, a merged range balances holdings that can win at showdown without relying solely on the absolute best hands. This approach is effective when opponents tend to call with wider ranges, allowing for value extraction from weaker but still competitive holdings.
