Was reading through some old posts whilst killing some time and came across some discussion involving tight aggressive players/slightly loose-aggressive, someone referred to this:

TA = VP$IP < 20%
SLAA = VP$IP 20% to 30%

Im guessing 'seen' flops are the percentages but what does VP$IP mean?

thanks!

OK someone has to correct me I think but it stands for Voluntary Pot into Pot. So the precentage of the flops you see that isn't the blinds.

VP$IP = Voluntarily Put Money Into the Pot.

It's all determined pre-flop. Any time you voluntarily put money into the pot, it counts. That includes when you complete the small blind, or call a raise when you're in the big blind. The only time it doesn't count is when you check from the big blind, or you fold.

It's pretty hard to calculate it yourself without pokertracker.

Typical "tight" play has a VP$IP of 15% - 20%.
