VP$IP/PFR

    Default VP$IP/PFR

    I've noticed some of these statistics bandied around, and so I loaded my past 10 tournaments ($5.50 buy-in 1-table 9-seater) into PokerTracker, curious what mine were.
    My VP$IP is 17.78% and my PFR is 8.89%.
    Are these good, bad, moderate? I've placed 1st twice and 2nd once out of those 10 tournaments; so I thought I had a basic grasp of tournament poker, but my PFR seems a bit low.
    I haven't included heads-up hands.
    Thank you for any and all advice.

    Overall VP$IP/PFR stats are almost meaningless in SNGs as you should start off playing very tight (and maybe even weak/tight) and get more loose aggressive as blinds increase. Also, 10 tournaments is way too small a sample size.

    Below are my VP$IP/PFR stats for 34,600 hands and 553 tourneys for the various blind levels that I've played at PS, including heads up (as this is when you should be most LAgg). Note that there are turbos and normals mixed in here so it's a bit distorted, and I was far too loose in some of the early games that I played :

    10/20 15.78% 5.32%
    15/30 15.80% 4.85%
    25/50 14.38% 6.52%
    50/100 16.29% 11.34%
    75/150 21.55% 17.24%
    100/200 30.47% 23.72%
    200/400 37.62% 29.33%
    300/600 44.89% 35.40%
    400/800 51.37% 41.44%

    EDIT: I looked at Level 1-3 for the tourneys I've played at PP (about 4,000 hands) and VP$IP is 11-13%.

    Overall is 22.07% and 14.64% - as you can see this is pretty much meaningless.

    You can see that I open up significantly when the blinds hit 75/150, by which time I'm raising 80% of the hands I'm playing (compared to 33% at levels 1-3).

    Ah, I had forgot to consider that. Thanks for posting your statistics, to compare with.
