Default how do you guys play 25/50NL tables and maintain a < 20 vpip

I have trouble getting under 30
Seriously, what hands are you playing? TT-AA/AK only?

1. You have AA on the button. MP, who is a total fish, goes all-in for $10. CO goes all-in for $18. You have them both covered with $23.

CALL OR FOLD???????????

I'd be almost ready to retire from poker if I got AA-TT/AK on 20% of my hands.

I think a better question might be: what exactly are YOU playing that is making it difficult to get below 30%?

I think I would have trouble maintaining &gt;20-25% VPIP.

Why risk it against two people? AA is a great hand heads up, but with two people all-in and the blinds still to act, I think it's best to fold and wait for a better spot.

I have trouble getting a vp$ip greater than 13. I wonder if this hurts my bb/100 [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

That does seem a little too tight.

Try playing more suited connectors, and suited aces in position, especially if there are several limpers.

i guess its my SB and BB ... i will play any "reasonable" two in a 3+ player pot and if relatively cheap. But the SB is where I make all my cash [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] go figure
