I don't really have any other comments except to say that there isn't really going to be any significant difference in winrate of a 18%VPIP and 22%VPIP player who both play similarly postflop. But for your own sake don't let your stats mislead you into believing that playing at close to 30% VPIP in full ring games is more profitable than playing closer to 20%. It isn't. Even if you play very well postflop. Blind play makes a pretty big difference in this number. I personally believe a lot of TAG players should loosen up a bit more in the blinds. But nobody should limp in EP with QTo. Nobody should coldcall a raise by a decent player with KJo. And honestly, some hands that are even accepted as fine to play on this forum (such as Axs in EP) are likely unprofitable for someone who needs a lot of postflop work. The hands that are thought to be profitable (probably ~18-20% of them) on this forum are not just randomly thought up. It comes from people with extensive databases that give a very good indication of where the profitability cutoff is. Ed Miller's SSHE book gave a very good graph and write-up for this indicating the same and verified by data. 30% is just not more profitable than closer to 20%. Even for the best players in good games.
