Keys to Game Selection

[Talking Poker]

I've been thinking about your "Fish" numbers a bit pshabi:

This is basically getting you everyone with over a 50% VPIP (with the small exception of the players who have 8-9% PRF). On top of that, it gets you the calling stations who are > 40% VPIP and < 8% PRF.

How did you come up with these numbers. I think they are a good starting point, but I think you could tweak them to be better. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have lots and lots of pretty big fish on your list, or fewer HUGER fish on your list.

I definitely like the calling station types and the complete pyschos, but I'm thinking I may tweak the numbers to be something along the lines of this, to get me even BIGGER fish:

-----
VP$IP > 40%
PFR < 8%

and

VP$IP > 60%
PFR > 15%
-----

Something like that. This is basically the same as your list, but I'm exclusing these guys:
VP$IP > 50% and VP$IP < 60%
PFR > 8% PFR < 15%

Yes, those are bad players... but are they bad enough?

As I'm typing this, I'm rethinking it. I mean, a guy who is 55/10 is pretty freaking bad. I guess I see why you are using the numbers that you are. You're saying "Give me EVERYONE over 50% VP$IP and also throw in the guys over 40% VP$IP who are < 8% PRF. Yeah, that makes sense. Now that I've reasoned it out, I think I like your numbers (even though you should change your 9% to an 8% to cover everyone). I'll go ahead and post this anyway though

Boobie - what numbers do you use?
