Yes.

While I totally appreciate Nate tha Great's post about preflop play, and how we are missing opportunities passing up many profitable hands preflop, the biggest issue for my development is not bumping up my vpip a few points. It's taking how I think about the game to the next level. It's very cliche, but what most moderately good, but not great players here (I would like to consider myself one of those) need to to is learn to play "outside the box." (I can't beleive I used that term -- I need a shower now.)
