What I don't get is, I have a VP$IP hovering around 19.5 or so, and I just don't see playable hands at 2/4 or 3/6 where I'm not starting to coldcall with a lot more hands that I just don't see as playable when I'm HU or 3-way.

I agree with this.

I just cant think that there is another 8-10 percent of hands that are playable.

Honestly, I think you wouldn't be posting if you hadn't won big (note the past tense) with your truly gaudy looseness. You've probably got very good table selection and hand reading skills, but you've also been running very well. Much like sthief said at 10K maybe you're a poker pioneer, or maybe you'll fail and tighten up like so many before you. Personally, I think voluntarily tightening up at 2/4 now is cheaper than taking a beatdown at 5/10 and being forced to do so.

Good luck.

even if your win rate was over 4/100 i'd still say hit up 3/6... 20K isn't enough hands to come close to defining your true win rate... so if you're feeling comfortable beating this game, have few questions, and have the bankroll, by all means, move up to 3/6 and re-evaluate.

i might also spend some time at 1/2 6-max, which may prove useful, if only as a primer, for dealing with the meaty 5/10 6-max games...

[ErrantNight]

oh yeah, and if you're winning with a 28 VP$IP you're either runnning well by getting lucky, or running well by getting some of the Best Hands Ever preflop... but either way you won't survive if you continue this at 2/4, let alone 3/6...

this isn't an insult, but i don't think you're the poker pioneer... i think the close to 30 vp$ip is the northwest passage of poker....

I think u should strongly consider the 6-max games. Or play less hands at full ring.

[timprov]

I think if you presume a successful 28 VPIP player, this is essentially what his stats would look like. I don't know that I'm willing to do that, but I'm not rushing to judgment against you either.

These numbers are totally out of my league, as I am tight as hell and super aggressive. I hope you win, but asking me to comment on this is like asking a moron to comment on the beauty of quantum physics; I simply don't get it, so I can't appreciate it.
