Re: What separates a good player from an advanced player?
[ QUOTE ]
to stlanty and emperor - don't try to improve your game by aiming for an "optimal" vp$ip. improve your game so that your vp$ip is better. that is just to say, don't try to create situations to increase the number, because this will invariably lead to mistakes (e.g., making bad coldcalls or EP limps w/ the justification that this must be the way to optimalize vpip). figure out which situations you are misplaying preflop, and the proper vp$ip will follow.

This is the best observation in the entire thread. I see many players falling for this trap. The goal is not to get to some magical VP$IP or PFR by any means necessary. The goal is to make the right play on every street. And as psycho said, once you get there, the stats will follow.
