Default Re: Party Poker getting Tighter

I'm usually one of the 3 loosest players at most 1/2 tables. No longer a moneybag. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But many of these tight players that use GT, PV are pretty terrible poker players regardless. I honestly thing that tools like GT have hurt the development of many players. If player has VP of 60, and a postflop aggression of 1.0, he is labelled loose passive. But for someone who plays 60% of his hands, an aggression of 1.0 is actually normal aggression (he probably bets the same number of hands as a tight player with an aggression of 3). I've reduced my dependence on these tools, focusing more an real reads (such as common lines, tendencies).

Here's an exercise for you PT-GT users: Try playing your next session with only VP$P and PFR displayed. And don't refer to any other stats during play. Do this for 1 week and let us know how it turns out. You will thank me later.
