just read posts and think about the game for yourself. just cause aba (omg) says 26/20 is an optimal vpip/pfr doesn't mean its the best style for you. stats are a way to gauge how you play relative to other people, not how you should play. saying you are tyring to get this stat to be what someone else told you it should be shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the methodology in improving at this game, IMO. stats can be useful for gaining additional insight into another player's hand ranges, but if you are determining optimal postflop play off some dumb stat that someone else said it should be who probably plays entirely different limits than you against entirely different opponents with an entirely different gameplan, well then youre probably going about it the wrong way.

That's not at all what I use stats for. Reread some of my posts. Nowhere did I say I try to match my stats to a specific value. I agree with you that it's a terrible way to go.
