Default Re: Would a B&M TAG have the same VPIP as an online TAG?

[ QUOTE ]
VPIP will never be the same live as online, even for tight players. The simple reasoning behind this is the time factor. Unless you have superhuman patience, you simply cannot sit there for stretches of 30-40 minutes at a time without playing hands.

I do it all the time. When not tilting and not getting cards I've gone hours without playing a hand.

Which, of course, leads me to going busto with AJo 'cuz it looks like a monster, sure. But not playing a hand for 30 minutes is standard.

my vpip is a lot lower when I play live NL, because in LA, they make you buy in super short.

My point exactly. In many B&M games where the buy-in is 20, 40, or 50 bbs the correct strategy is to have a lower VPIP than the onnline 100bb tables.
