| 46% VP$IP? I saw this line in the hand analysis area and wondered exactly what it meant "i think his 46% VP$IP actually bodes well for me because we don't have to put him on a pocket pair just because he called a PF raise" can someone please explain the bold text to me |

| Its how much he Volontery put $$$(Money) in the Pot. 46% is far to high and looks like he will play almost any 2 cards, put an opponent like that on a hugh range of hands probally including stuff like A-rag offsuit K-rag offsuit Q-rag offsuit. Unsuited connectors, 2 gap suited cards and the like. |

| VP$IP is a very useful stat because it explains the range of hands they will play. Now if you're playing against someone who is halfway decent this range will change according to position so you have to take that into account. If someone with that high a VP$IP is playing from the button, you literally can assume practically any 2 cards. And unless they are complete idiots, if they're playing 50% of hands, they're playing the 50% best hands, not the worst (ie folding AA-TT yet playing 23o-29o, that would be stupid). So when you see someone with an extremely low VP$IP come into a hand you have to believe they have somewhat of a hand. This works well for you though if rags flop such as 237 rainbow. With a very low VP$IP opponent you only have to worry about pocket pairs. If you're playing the 50% VP$IP opponent though, they could have 23, 27, 37, 22, 33, 77, or it's always possible they have something better. Remember someone with a 50% VP$IP still plays AA. |
