Saw/Total%:

I use to be a nit but now I play around 25-30% VPIP and around 17-22%Pre Flop Raise %.  I studied alot of the Full Time online players and they seem to play around 22%VPIP and 17%PFR I lean more toward David Pham and Doc Sands numbers alittle bit

Doc Sands plays 45%VPIP and raises Pre Flop about 32%
David Pham plays around 38%VPIP and 26%PFR

There are alot of ways to look at it.  But Chip Accumulation is more important than Survival..  

And your cards are your weakest weapon I dont Rely on my cards until I am ITM most times.

This was 'Full Ring' 9 players usually with the occasional 'sitting out' or open seat.

Ful Table, short table, or head to head? I imagine its gotta be a dramaticv difference 'tween 6 and 9 handed, no? I look forward to reading more answers, 'cuzz I dunno jack.

 Well... this was a losing session of one buy in.

If I open up more in 'late' position(BTN/CO/HJ); people look at it as a blind steal and play back; re-reraise,check raise, etc. ohh well.  What do you think is the situation to make a profit, 'in a cash ring game', that is most overlooked?

I do better when I'm seeing from 10 to 15% of the flops and winning 65%  and higher of those hands.

Less than 10% I'm just card dead with bad cards on the board to go with the good pre flop cards.

If I'm seeing more than 15% of the flops I usually get a low percentage of wins with those good preflop cards due to being out drawn.  My full house being beaten by a better full house and so forth.

I am not an online genius poker player. That said, I am most comfortable with playing LAG as I can outplay after the flop and I work position well.

My 2 cents is , 20-25% is good.... I have been as tight as single digits and done well and been as loose as 35% and dominated, however I haven't checked on a 2,000 hand spread. just talkin tourney wise.



Peace and GL, BPB

Annie Duke says that good players see a flop with about 20% of the hands they are dealt. 8% is probably a little too tight.

nice blog...

first..i'm a low limit donk with crap stats..you are prolly a better player than me...

i find that i have 2 games....around 12/13% (tight for me), and 22/23%(loose)...i score better with the former, but have more fun with the latter..:D:D...

but my best results come when my turn % see is a lot lot lower than my flop see....the turn % see is more important imho.....around a 3/4% turn see, and i find i do quite well...it was another bird..'jasonallin' who turned me on to the importance of the turn see%...
