Starting hand requirements

[annie2cards]

If playing starting hands according to the recommendations in SSH, approximately what percentage of flops should you expect to see over an extended period of time?

It will vary pretty dramtically depending on the aggressiveness of the game you play (and to a lesser extent the tightness/looseness of the game) -- if your game is getting raised a lot pre-flop, then you'll end up not playing a lot of hands that, under SSHE guidelines, are good for a limp but not good against a raise; if your game is seldom raised pre-flop, then you'll be seeing a lot more flops.

I'd venture a guess that you'll see ~22.5% of flops when playing a SSHE-type opening game in most party games below 3/6 (I don't have any experince above this), give or take ~2.5% either way. (Note that this is see flops, not VPIP -- with VPIP, make it ~18% with the same margin of error).

Many on these forums will see way less or way more, and my impression is that B&M players' experiences will be quite different.
