This doesn't, however, agree with what Pshabi was saying - he said he likes to keep both the "loose donkeys" and the "passive donkeys" on his immediate right. I know that wasn't the focus of the post - but now that I've got the software up and running and tried out the methods, I'm ready for some fine-tuning.
Actually, I was looking for a more precise definition of 'donkey'. :-) I saw sea ask this a while back, but I'm not sure anyone answered.
Maniac = loose aggressive
Fish = loose passive
Calling station = passive, but not necessarily loose?
Donkey = ??
Mining the data in Party for 25 or so hands before I play has been very instructive. I can find tables that range in average VPIP from 20% to almost 40%, at .50/1.00. There are usually 1, 2, or occasionally 3 people with a VPIP over 40, and 7-9 with more typical VPIP 20/PFR 3 to 8.
I definitely have to move the filtering VPIP up, because of playing full tables. And I'm wondering about the aggression. Frankly, embarrassing as it is, I don't do that well against the more aggressive players. I tend to think I should improve my game, but perhaps with that may fish in the Party sea, I can filter for the ones I naturally do well against?
