I'm curious as to how the authors determined the various hand ranges throughout the book. As an example, on page 47, it says a 30% range would be:

22+, A2s+, K9s+, Q9s+

JTs-54s, J9s-T8s

A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo

Poker Stove, however, represents a 30% range as:

55+, A2s+, K5s+, Q7s+

J8s+, T8s+, 98s,

A7o+, A5o, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o

Flopzilla shows a 30% range as:

22+, A2s+, K7s+, Q9s+

JTs-54s, J9s-75s

A8o+, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o

I understand that not all players will consider a 30% range identically but I'm just curious as to how the authors derived their numbers for the various ranges.

Thanks!

I think it's along the lines of the PS and FZ ranges just having the most showdown equity; while the SSNL range you have here is more of being "playable" for the given position.  IIRC, that range is for opening from the CO where you'd need both showdown and steal equity.

But, I'm curious as to what Sunny, Ed and Matt have to say as well.

Well, you'll notice that all the ranges are fairly similar and differ only a little bit on the edges. We include more offsuit aces and small suited connectors at the expense of marginal offsuit high-card hands like K9o and Q9o. IMO this represents better how people actually choose hands.
