standard call

So, given the fact that your pfr is close to your vpip, does 22-99 make up almost all of your CCs?

No. I also didn't say my pfr is THAT close to my VPIP, just saying that's how one would get there.

Or just remember "if it's good enough to call it's most likely good enough to raise".

This is the reason I have been posting in this thread - I don't agree.

I think it is clearly better to call a raise with a small/mid pair, than it is to 3bet or fold.

This has always seemed like the dumbest saying to me.

Let's say you have 22-88 OTB and there was an EP raise and a few cold callers.

I'm assuming you play <100nl? Cuz this doesn't really happen that often at 200nl+.

To answer your Q basically just never open limp and cold call/overlimp rarely.

this sounds like limit advice to me.

Re: LC: How do you get VP$IP and PFR close?
 

I got my %'s closer by doing 2 things

1) I don't open-limp anymore. IMO, it screams, I have a low pair! By raising with these, I've been able to get paid off more with my high pairs, and mislead villain into thinking I hit TPTK on the A-T-6 board and he's gonna bust me with 2pair, when in reality, I'm holding 66.

2) I won't coldcall a raise unless

a) There is more than 1 caller already and I have a drawing hand/small PP.

b)I have position, we're both deepstacked, AND I know he'll stack off with an overpair. Depending on villain, I might do this with ATC, but usually I want some kind of drawing hand.

After making these changes, my stats went from 13/8 to 12/10 and opponents' play against me has been easier to deal with (assuming I don't donk things up lol)

Don't forget that just completing the SB reduces you PFR%.

Re: LC: How do you get VP$IP and PFR close?
 

Also raise more out of the blinds, most people are way too passive in those spots

Re: LC: How do you get VP$IP and PFR close?
 

Happy Birthday GM!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Hmmm...what's a good raise from the blind % in comparison to your PFR?

Re: LC: How do you get VP$IP and PFR close?
 

My PFR from the Blinds is about 1/2 to 2/3 of my button PFR.

If I open the pot I always raise. I cold call nearly always with:22-TT, sometimes suited connectors, QQ and AK rarely with A2s to A5s.
Sometimes I 3bet (off)suited connectors in position... but thats my FPS atm ^^
