Hmm... that makes sense. Perhaps I should spend some more time finding good tables.

I would rather drink ammonia than play Texas Hold 'Em with a 13% VPIP.

I understand where you're comming from, but it's not THAT bad. Consider that between the higher rake and 1/3 strucutre you're playing your SB a LOT less in 3/6 than 15/30. An 18% VP$IP is a pretty good balance for this game, depending table texture, etc. Consider, that most of the 3/6 tables I play are like 2-3 horrible players and the rest of the seats filled by a mix of rocks, TAggs and semi-aware players.

Even with a horrible rake structure, I'm certain that playing 13-14% of your hands at $3/6 is pretty bad.

Checking some of my old 2/4 stats, vpip 16.3%. I'm not really sure where I make all these incorrect folds. My 3/6 stats is only over 2500 hands and with a vpip at 13.8%. 2500 hands is not much but for judging vpip it's decent, right? I'm sure I won't get over 15% playing the way I do now.

I find this both interesting and perplexing.

When the table is silly loose, you should be limping drawing hands. Went the table is mixed, stealing blinds, stealing buttons and isolating bad players. You can also 3-bet thinking TAggs who raise pre-flop aggressivly with a pretty wide range.

You are probably not cold calling enough. IMO, SSHE (though brilliant) might have made us too afraid to cold call.

VPIP is pretty accurate over that many hands, btw.

It might be slightly biased towards my game, but, as someone, who, in the past 2 months has gone from like 16/9, to 18.5/11, I found most of the VPIP increase didnt come from hands in which I was raising. It came from hands in which I could cold call proftably.
