So I hear this a lot, that you should never limp. Always open for a raise. I also hear people often saying that you shouldn't cold call a raise, and either re-raise or fold.

It seems to me if you played this way, your VPIP should = PFR. Is this actually sustainable over the long term? (edit: just as I say that, I see Renton's latest post and he essentially has VPIP = PFR at most positions)
My VPIP/PFR is 21.70/18.57 over the last like 7k hands so they arent equal, but fairly close. I do limp behind sometimes with marginal hands at tables where cbets dont get respect, but even then I do that probably as much as I should. If people say that you shouldnt cold call a raise that it is either re-raise or fold, then, well, I would like to play against those people. I smooth-call a good amount of raises in LP with a fairly wide range of hands, in the blinds that advice is probably more accurate.
