It isn´t. But most players do better with that style especially multitabling.

True!

But the answer to this really isnt to stay tight but to try and learn to play the LAG/TAG or LAG or whatever is optimal. But its very important to realize that when you loosen up from 22/18 to 30/20 people are gonna adjust to your play. Your distribution will be weaker at any given point in a hand so observant players will take more shots and will be calling down more loose. You have to adjust to this by getting more to SD and vb'ing thinner.

Just LAGging it up preflop isnt enough. You have to adjust postflop as well!

And the mantra about stealing more and defending more everytime someone post stats are contraproductive unless the post contains the information yours just did

I completely agree. And people who posts 1-liners in these stats threads should be insta-banned. But cant blame them really as we get a stat thread every day and its the same stuff that people argue about.


Two final points

When we discuss a posters VPIP and PFR its actually pretty dumb. The optimal values of these depend soooo much on average number of players.

Also discussing optimal levels of defending and stealing is actually quite ridiculous without knowing how OP's games play.

So whenever someone makes a stat post there should be these insta-one-liners:

How do your games play?
Average number of players?
