what is the highest VPIP for a consistent winning player you've seen?

[The_Bankroll]

there was some guy on 2+2 who play $200NL, posted his stats, and he was something like 7PTBB/100 over 50,000 hands playing 60/20. don't remember who though.

1. You entirely missed the point of my post.
2. What I think is that you have the makings of a fish, if your worry is how this guy does, but not how he does when you are at the table.

I'm not worried at all, I have him on my buddy list and always try to play at his table bc he creates action. Can you answer my question: DO you believe anyone can have a VPIP of 65% and be a long term winner?

There is not a chance in hell that this guy is a winner playing 65% of his hands. None. Zero. Nada.

How many hands (sample size)would it take for you to consider it possible?

i'd be shocked if u could even find a 30K sample where this guy comes out in the black.

edit: but all that would do is shock me; as poster above pointed out, the # of hands you'd need for conclusive evidence of long-term winning is in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Pretty sure there are some decent winning players in the VP-100 range.

It's really hard to get above 85% or so, because you just get too many walks.

although theoretically this may be true, realistically, I think it would take much much less hands to convince me. I play with this guy almost everynite and its not like he had one or 2 huge nights and is losing otherwise. He consistently wins and by his post flop play, I think he is at the very least, a break even player.

Why dont you just ask him what his winrate is
