So what were your stats when you were playing NL, Lou? And how did you measure your success? Just looking at money won and looking for leaks?
What kind of VPIP should I be shooting for?

[Aequitas58]

Win % At Showdown and Went to Showdown % are two different stats. The latter is more important, by far.

I'm not going to tell you what your VP$IP should be, but I think you want to be in the 17-22% ballpark. Don't be afraid to play those suited connectors in LP w/ 3/4+ limpers. Don't be afraid to call small raises w/ your pocket pairs.

Measuring success in NL is much tougher than in limit, IMO. Implied odds can be complicated because you really DON'T know how much you will get paid off if you hit. It's hard not to be results oriented, but when playing NL, that's the most common mistake of most players - including yours truly.

Gotcha.

WSD% = 19.74

And I'm definitely doing those things. Maybe the sample size is too small, but it seems like i'm not getting many of those chances with suited connectors in LP. I'm definitely calling raises with any pocket pair. I'm always more than happy to call a 4xBB raise with a low pocket pair when the guy has me covered, or close to it.
