Default How much does one\'s EV go up as a table\'s VP$IP% goes up?

Has anyone done any statistical analysis on how much of a benefit one would actually get from moving from a table with an average VP$IP of 30%, say, to one of 40%?

If starting hands can be ranked and their EV quantified, then couldn't this similarly be quantified?

Nope. You can try, but it'd just be lots of precise math based around poor assumptions. The preflop mistakes reflected in VP$IP do not inherently correlate to the postflop mistakes which contribute much more significantly to EV (and also vary by player and situation).

Basically, average VP$IP doesn't parallel expected value because of the postflop situation. One or two live players and a couple mediocres often makes a game "good", even if it's full of otherwise strong players and has a very low VP$IP statistic. This is because you earn your money postflop against weak opponents.
