Re: what is the highest VPIP for a consistent winning player you\'ve s
 

If you're bouncing around a lot of 6-max tables that are playing only 5-handed or 4-handed it isn't too difficult to imagine.
And it isn't hard to be 'stuck' on a table with only 4 or 5 players for a significant stretch.

Why? This guy that I play against is mid 60 vpip and is there pretty well every nite for a months playing 15-30. He creates action at the table so I like playing at his table. From what I can tell , he is a solid player, very good at hand reading.

1. You entirely missed the point of my post.
2. What I think is that you have the makings of a fish, if your worry is how this guy does, but not how he does when you are at the table.

I'm not worried at all, I have him on my buddy list and always try to play at his table bc he creates action. Can you answer my question: DO you believe anyone can have a VPIP of 65% and be a long term winner?

There is not a chance in hell that this guy is a winner playing 65% of his hands. None. Zero. Nada.

How many hands (sample size)would it take for you to consider it possible?

Re: Do not worry so much about how he does when you are NOT there.
 

and what do u think is the highest VPIP one can have and be a consitent winner at mid limit HE 6max.

Re: Do not worry so much about how he does when you are NOT there.
 

It's been a while since I've played limit, but isn't standard deviation something like 15-20 BB/ 100 hands? While not likely, it's hardly unusual for a -1BB/100 loser to break even or turn a small profit over a sample as large as 100,000 hands. So in short: more hands than you could possibly have datamined
