Well, there's no shame in limping once in a while. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

From memory, very few (if any) of the most profitable players have such a high PFR% (at least at $1/$2- I'm not so familiar with $2/$4.)

(Also, most of the players that do have a high PFR% are losing players.)

Obviously there is no single optimum VP$IP/PFR% combination but I'd certainly recommend experimenting with closer to a single digit PFR%.

Another point, from a multi-tabling perspective, is that there's clearly an inverse-correlation between a player's PFR% and the focus they can afford each table. In other words the greater the number of hands you're raising pre-flop, the greater your involvement in each of those individual pots- resulting in less attention for your other tables.


How many tables do you play?

Hey Renton,

You try out Poker EV?

When determining how you're running, PokerEV is worthless.

Poker EV needs to be taken as a grain of salt, but it'll help give u an idea if you're leaking

Sorry but I totally disagree with this.

Renton, didn't you make a post about how everytime you got over 15% vpip you started spewing alot? Maybe tone down a bit?

I'm kinda skeptical that raising 9-10% from ep is profitable. That means you are going to be playing many marginal hands out of position.
