Hello
What does this mean and what does it tell me about a player.

Do you maybe mean 'Voluntarily' put money into pot? That one means how often you call out of the blinds.

Depends on the amount of fiber in my diet. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

VP$IP stands for "voluntarily put $ in pre-flop".

And its expressed as a percentage of the times this is "true" over a given range of hands.

The lower this number the more selective the player is in starting requirements.

Now make sense?

Pokerstars keeps a stitistic of what % of the time you've seen the flop in any session. The VP$IP value seems close to it, but it shouldn't be identical since it should also count the times when you steal preflop.

Can someone give some examples of what VP$IP works best for good players at various levels?(maybe 23% at 25 NL, 18% at 200 NL or whatever? I don't know)
