Default Re: VPIP for all pairs

This is only a small sample size of about 8.5k hands. A mix of Party 0.5-1 to 2-4.

77 - 81
66 - 83
55 - 81
44 - 90
33 - 81
22 - 84

How about adding BB/Hand? And if there are any apparent anomolies, any other relevant information.

Sample derived from 37k of .5/1. Had each pair between 162 and 180 times.

Hand-VPIP-BB/Hand-CCPF

77 91 +.19 14
66 90 +.95 12
55 88 -.20 07
44 91 -.18 06
33 82 -.09 09
22 78 -.05 08

I am negative on 55 and down. I studied the data and have come to the tentative conclusion that I am losing with them because I am not cold calling with them as much. For comparison, I cold called 88 17 times and 99 14 times. Also notice I cold called 33 and 22 slightly more than 55 and 44 and I'm losing less with 33-22.

This may all make sense because a set of twos is almost as good as a set of sevens or a set of kings. Set over set hardly ever happens.

What do you think?

Are you saying I should be playing 22 and 33 from EP, even though it is unprofitable from better positions through 19K hands?

Yes. They are profitable hands from all positions.

I don't have any numbers because when my computer crashed, it took all my DBs away. Luckily, I had just done a hand review of all my 2/4 hands so those were on CD.

You should definitely play any pair UTG. Seriously, micro-limit games are more than loose passive enough to limp these hands.

Click me!

19k hands is no where near a big enough sample size to determine how profitable a single hand is from different positions.

Do you limp A2s UTG?

I fold a2s from EP sometimes even MP, depending on the table.

Unless you are playing at bad tables (pretty damn unlikely at Party [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) you should limp suited Aces UTG, even A2s. Obviously raise the larger ones.

Interesting.

My Leak-ometer is now twitching wildly ...

I only have about 5000 hands in my database, $0.25/$0.50 at PokerStars and PokerRoom, but my VPIP figures for small pairs are WAY smaller than what you guys are getting.

Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Typically, at PokerStars, 40% are seeing the flop, which makes it a tight game according to Ed Miller. Hence, I'm following his tight games advice re starting hands.

I THOUGHT that meant I shouldn't cold call raises in EP or MP with anything less than TT.

Am I mistaken?

Any help you guys could give me on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

The original post just asked about limping with pairs, not cold-calling raises with them.

I don't have access to PT at work tight now, but mine are probably in line with others already posted.

That's what most of the better players recommend, but I wouldn't play them unless you've had positive results from MP. I DO NOT play them from EP either. I don't enjoy donating money to my opponents just because a handful of players that are probably better than me are winning with them.
