[Closed] SSS on tables with average VPIP 14-22

well, I don`t think average vpip or PFR will affect your income too much. It is often enough to have one or two overagressive players with high PFR, who will throw a lot of action pre-flop. Just review your base and mark those players.

I also wrote some thoughts on table selection in my blog, you can check it out.

sry for off topic but @xylere: shouldn´t you be at least gold ?

and a link to your blog would be nice... think i missed something

gold?)) I should be 3 times diamond already) the problem is, I registered on mansion before PS came there) And I am definately going to fix this problem as soon as I will be back from vacation. I mean start playing on PS registered pokerroom.

thx for the link

My experience shows, that if there's one player with VPIP 30+, than table VPIP is over 25. If there's two of them its usually over 30.
So all in all, it doesnt effect anything to play on tighter tables ? I didnt mean win rate ( of course its worse ), but im curious about playing the SHC, or playing after flop. Its good as it is than.

I would like to know, if some1 else has similar data from other poker sites ( average VPIP of players on a given limit ).

Well, the table average can not affect your play against particular opponent)) I mean, it doesn`t make any sense)) But, of course, you adjust your play against different opponents based on their statistics. both pre-flop and post flop.

average vpip of the limit wouldn`t be accurate at all, for that you need huge DB and exclude people with less then 1000 hands from calculations. even then it won`t be very accurate)

I meant with average, that you play overall tighter players. Its good to have a loose player, but usually he got stacked quite soon by the other 8 tight player. And money moves around between tight ones, through the loose one, when the loose one got lucky on a tight one ... ♦

What i see is :

Usually there's a raise before me, so i play less hands overall.
Not much dead money out there.
Not too many situations for a steal, so blinds hurt.
Cant play the number of tables i would, because there are many tables, but i dont feel i got right edge on a table with low vpip.

Maybe this is just came to my mind, because i struggle at FT, and not getting anywhere up.

well, if the players around are that tight you can steal more... thats the obvious adjustment that came into my mind. Also I think you can play at any table on your limit.

And finally, maybe try to change pokerroom and see how it goes.

Other sites: no datamining, but here's my observations from Stars and Party.

The average across the site does not matter to me. Indeed, nobody makes me play "average" tables - I don't play a gazillion tables a time, so can make my picks.

In 7K NL25 hands I played on those sites combined, the average players/flop in a session is 27%. Note the average includes me already, and I can be rather nitty and/or cool down potential limpers by some unprovoked agression

Another approach w/o datamining is just to look at the lobby. Right now on Stars there are at least 40 FR NL25/PL25 tables with Players/flop 35% or more. (Out of total 130 tables or so.) So there are good games.

Never played at FT, one of the reasons being the impression games are tougher than on other sites.
