Default Re: Tight and aggressive preflop is not enough

I think this is a great post.

I think it's also a funny post, because if I had made the exact same post I would have been flamed like hell for it.

Either way, it had to be said. Many of you on here think that having a VPIP of 15 and a PFR % of 10 means you're good. It does not.

at a full table mine is pretty damn low ...17%...overall its 20.xy.

bottom line, if you're vpip is low, it often correlates to other SIGNIFICANT problems.

1) not releasing the 10% of hands you voluntarily play.
2) folding too often on the flop/ not folding often enough on the turn. folding too much on the river.

PS- utilizing information for its sake is dangerous. my most significant advance while using PT stats came when i could correlate VPIP%, pfr%, and agg factor postflop with many other parts of peoples' games.
