Linear Range (Condensed)
线性范围（浓缩范围）
A linear (or condensed) range includes hands from the top of your range down to a certain strength threshold, without skipping middle-strength hands. Linear ranges are typical for small bet sizes and preflop opening ranges.
Example
A UTG opening range of {AA-77, AK-AT, KQ-KJ, QJ} is linear — it includes all hands from the top down.
