OP sent me this PM and I thought it would be better to answer here
I posted a question on the shnl forum that could use you help on:

Anyhow, I think I recall seeing your new 6max stats hovering around 20/12.
Do you open limp a lot in the utg and utg+1 to get that vpip?
I ask b/c the general consensus is that limping is frowned upon, but you seem to be dominating even with your vpip being a little higher than average compared to your pfr.
What happens in games where there is a of aggression and you pretty much know your limps will get raised?
Anyhow, thanks for your time
First of all I am playing considerably looser lately having gradually moved up in stakes and even the midstakes games are getting tougher, because of this my nitty style is getting harder to pull off. Good players make it almost impossible to limp any reasonable range in early position. On certain fishy passively playing tables I will still limp at times. Much of the gap between pfr and vpip comes from calling raises from weak players in position.
I still believe most players are much better off concentrating the majority of their efforts into understanding and applying mathematical concepts of postflop play into their game, this includes bluffing frequencies balancing ranges etc even basic stuff like folding too much in big pots and passing up on marginal value are very common mistakes even among grinders.
If anyone cares, here's my numbers from the last month or so.
My ptbb/100 is lower but my hourly rate has actually increased. :P
Of course I've been lucky to run good at the higher stakes and bad at the lower ones. I am still curious to see if I can maintain my good results playing this somewhat looser style.
