Re: Cause or effect? VPIP sliding

when I was a micro'er, I was 17/8 (.5/1 and 1/2 full)
one needs to be comfortable postflop to play 20+ VPIP in full games IMO, and I wasn't at that stage yet at micro limits. just because it's right for Entity or DeathDonkey, I really hope it hasn't become forum gospel.
someone put the 'tight' back in TAG, please.

this is really true and i quote for emphasis.

I agree 100%... but it is also true that the game is changing a little bit again, as lots of players are following starting hand charts and tightening up preflop (especially true online). Playing 16/8 ABC poker will not be a significant winner in those games unless you are a monster postflop. But if you are a monster postflop, then you should be loosening up your preflop play to give you more chances to take advantage of your superior postflop play.
16/8 ABC poker is an excellent way to start. But if you're interested in doing more with poker, you've got to get beyond it. Moving up to 18/10 (then 20/12) poker is a big step forward.
