really I think 16-20 is a better VPIP at tighter tables and you can even loosen up more than that at really loose tables. I think Grinder mentioned being about 7% below table VPIP but obv that's just a theoretical, makes no sense to look at one given 100 hand session and say oh, I was playing 2% too tight....
but anything below 15% and you are definitely leaving money on the table.
but what do I know, I'm breakeven for my last 10khands

lol, the bad beats have been affecting my play..i use to go to river all the time with top pair but lately people have been hittin crazy hands on river or simply out kicking me.. i admit i am playing kinda scared now but that's what happens when i play super agressive and end up losing on river ..i think i got so pissed at one point i just kept folding hands to get my bonus and leave and i kinda do play "by the book" with a starting list of hands.. i havent altered much from it, in fact ive been playing looser in late position and jus calling with crap hands to try to get "lucky" but that hasnt been working..sometimes it's hard to call when you get nothing but face card and rags....
anyways, i was using gametime+ and i noticed that my VP$IP is usually the lowest and it's always lower than 15%.. at some tables it's 7 and 8%.. but i guess that's whta happens when you get dealt crap hands no? and jus f... | | Read Entire Entry |

Forum: Bonus Whores | also, not being aggressive enough is not as big of a leak as not seeing enough showdowns. folding so much is a disasterous leak because you are often costing yourself the whole pot. being so tight is a disasterous leak because you have the chance to make that error every single hand.

As I expected. WTSD is way too low, Won$atSD is way too high.
so basically you are playing far too few hands and then not even playing them....
You should drop to a level you are comfortable losing money at and then consciously decide to be much looser and much more aggressive than you are comfortable with. Or at least get a starting hand chart and "play by the book" which should get you up to at least 16-18% vpip probably.

I'm way looser than you preflop, see more showdowns, and am just a little less than your $ won at SD.

The one thing more I would add to the default display is your own stats. They are turned off by default, but unlike in GameTime they just show your stats for that table since you sat down. Assuming half the table or more are running stats on you, knowing what they think you are (vs what you know you are) based on a bad run of cards or a bad run of cards can be very helpful. If I find that on a specific table I have been folding nonstop and am showing a VP$IP under 10 and a TA under 1, it's almost a lock that I can bully other tight players out of a hand, or at least adds a significant increase to the confidence level for doing so. Since so many people run it, what you look like to them is almost as important as what they look like to you. | | Static Link |

If you are multitabling, you really cant use the external gametime windows. I mean you can, but... What you really need is something like GT+ or Poker Ace HUD that overlay the stats on top of the poker game. It saves a ton of screen real estate and you dont have to keep switching what you are looking at.
OK - cheers. Poker Ace Hud downloaded. I'll give it a spin later. $25 is nothing in the scheme of things if it helps!

PT says I just had my best session at .5/1.00 limit ever.
I was 1-tabling and posting and doing records and stuff.
I cant believe it cos I stood still for last 10 minutes, so stats could be a lot better - just hit the right table/hands at the right time I guess - and that can make all the bad stuff go away.
52 mins - 56 hands - $won 50.50 - BB/Hr 58.27 - VP$IP 32.14
Obviously VP$IP high because I was hitting.
And the cream - 38 rakes

Forum: Bonus Whores | as far as poker tracker, by far the most immediately useful stuff it does is keep track of the table when you are playing. Set it to auto import, and then select the "game time" window. After you've played a few hands hit preferences and then go to the table area and select the drop down with the table/seat you are at. Close out preferences and you will have a window that shows you all of your opponents stats that it has accumulated so far. It takes a number of hands before they are very meaningful. You see all of thier stats like you might see your own, % of hands they are playing, % of preflop raises, goes to showdown, won at showdown, steal attempts, etc. As this builds up to 25-50 hands on the other people at your table it gives you a lot of information about how to play against them. And if you've played against that guy before you have all his stats from last time too.
