Optimal VPIP
 

I just started playing 5/10 6 max and am running pretty bad. I wanted to know what an good range for VPIP for a TAG style. I think I may be playing too tight.

search function, look at other threads with stat posts. Those threads will be better than this one will turn out.

What site are you playing on?

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

And what are YOUR stats?

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

...depends...

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

I've done the research, and it's

23.7 +- .56

Enjoy

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

start at 23. the better you get the more u will lean towards 30vpip by defending your big blind more often and stealing more.

22.36/12.49/2.41 at full tilt

You're horribly, egregiously tight. Anything greater than 23.7 +- .56 is spewy, and any less (including you), is UNBELIEVABLY nitty.

Why do I bother asking? I actually can't even tell who's sincere.

Welcome to the forum.

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

I'm hoping it's just because i used the word "optimal." I probably should have just asked if my stats were way out of line.

It's because ther isn't really an answer to your question. Simply playing and raising the agreed "correct" precentage of hands will not make you a winning player. Most people would agree that under 20% is too tight and over 30% is too loose for 6-max(although there will always be exceptions). Anything between that and your postflop play will determine if you're a winner or not.

Thank you, Dagger. I understand what you're saying about postflop. I just started playing shorthanded after playing and winning full ring for two years, and I'm not used to losing. I know I had to loosen up to play shorthanded, but I just wanted to know if I was playing way too tight. It seems all the winners I've been playing with are LAGs.

Well said

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

I believe it's now 34.1/23

Re: Optimal VPIP
 

I used to play nitty 24/16/30%ATS and have been a decent winner. Since playing on the 28-30/19-21/38%ATS train, poker has become a serious problem.

50 vp / 40 pfr

Went on to do over 90k hands at very good winrate. Player since moved up to very high limits on Party before the U.S players got banned.
