VPIP from the big blind
Hey all!
It's been so long I'm surprised I remembered my login info.
Anyway, I've got a question for y'all. I've been playing again the last week and enjoying playing around with the PokerTracker LeakTracker. I've only got a little over 2000 hands in, but I'm surprised to see that my VPIP is exactly in the middle of the green for all positions except the big blind.
I'm still playing with the pre-flop recommendations I learned from the Lee Jones "Winning Low-Limit Hold'em" book. Which reminds me - I should point out I've been playing full ring Limit, mostly $0.25/$0.50.
So if it's unraised before me, I raise with AA-88, AKs-QJs, AQs-KJs, AKo-KQo, AQo. If there's a single raise and lots of players I'll call with any pair, any suited A/K/Q, any suited connector or suited one-gap. If it's two bets to me I fold anything but the strongest hands - I call if I would call in EP.
It seems like that is plenty of calling, but the fact remains my VPIP is low compared to winning players (at least that's what PT/LT are telling me.) Are these still the correct recommendations? Or has the thinking changed in the last, oh, 13 years? :-)
