And I actually think one could win at small stakes holdem with a vpip of more than 95%.

This was actually a challenge from BobboFitos some time ago which I began taking him up on. I played the .01/.02 at UB. You could try searching (although it might be in archives by now) but I believe the challenge was to play 95% of hands and to achieve a positive win rate over something like 1K hands. Maybe it was more hands. I'm not sure. Anyways, I started out on a rush and was up 5 buyins or something after 200 hands. Then I got bored, though, and starting bluffing incessantly which, needless to say, didn't work out that well for me. I am firmly convinced that it can be done, though. The key is to be very aggressive when it is heads up (which is rare) and to just cut your losses when it is multi-way and you don't have a hand (which is not rare). The really hard part, though, is that you have to call a TON of raises playing 95% of hands so it actually becomes a lot more profitable to re-raise bluff preflop a decent amount of the time (usually min-reraise preflop and then pot the flop). It was definitely fun at the beginning but playing for $2 just gets old after a bit. I encourage everyone to try it out, though. I think if you could take it seriously it would really help your game. Maybe I will try it again, actually!
