Data Mining... Who is your target?
 

I have been data mining for a month now and have several thousand players in my db. At first I decided I would target people with a VP$IP of more than 60% with low PFR% and low PF aggrression. After thinking about it I think It may be better to target LAP type players. Who do you target and why?

thanks,

Your first instinct was right. The loose passive players are the ones you should try to play against. They are the most profitable.

Re: Data Mining... Who is your target?
 

depends what your playing, but VPIP>50 and AF<1 should catch the cream IMO. If their also aggressive preflop, then whatever, really, decent raising standards ain't gonna make up for the other defeciencies.

I just add anybody who has lost more than $1500 in the past 2/3/4 days...

And anyone with a VPIP of +55/60 for full ring...


Yesterday though, this back fired and I doubled up a complete NUTCASE twice on Party NL200...

His stats were ~ 93/35/6.5 over +1100 hands...

But thats my normal method...

Re: Data Mining... Who is your target?
 

Believe it or not, I like to play against people with these types of stats.

75/5/0.5.

What drives me crazy is when a 75/0/0 check calls the whole way down with something everyone else would raise with. With stats lik 75/5/0.5 you KNOW when he has a good hand and can stay out of the way, but still calls enough to be very profitable.

Just a different opinion.

I believe it, this is what we call a 'fish' lol.

Seriously though, these are dream opponents. They will pay off everything, and when they bet, you can very often fold without dismay.

your observation is interesting and quite possibly correct
