    Tighten up in the blinds. If your BB VPIP is bigger than your EP you're too loose there. This is more of a Laggy style, but I think if you're going to do it your doing it fine? It's hard to say with just stats. Post some hands maybe? Or if you haven't been a successful TAG yet, maybe try that style for a little?
    My sig is too much for you to handle.

    TAG I do fine, just trying to open wide profitably...

    Sample size is too small. At best you can look at groups of related hands. 22-55, A2-A8s, etc. should all have similar EV.

    the vast majority of players with higher than 25% VPIP have a losing winrate.

    What does this mean? What can i learn from this reply? I'm trying to be in the small minority with a winning winrate.

    Playing so many hands will cause you have greater swings, put you in more difficult post-flop spots, make it easier to get post-flop reads on you and increase your exposure to the rake.

    if you need to ask about your stats, you are probably not in the minority of the minority that can win with a high VPIP. i'm pretty surprised u could break even with those stats. if you dropped to 20-25 VPIP i'm sure you'd get a 3+ winrate no problemo.

    I can play 20-25 VP with higher than 3+ winrate at this level.
    That is not the point. A monkey with a stick can beat PartyPoker's 25NL.
    As said, i'm trying to open wider while retaining profitability, which has not been accomplished yet, since i'm only break-even.
    Thus, this post, where i look for your insights and thoughts on the matter.
    Had i known i would get responses with such insight as "the majority of VP25+ players are losers over time" i wouldnt have bothered though.

    I know the sample is small and all, but still, i expected something better than that Hyper.

    You need to get yourself an unwaddenator for your panties.

    Serusleetho - 1. the sample IS small, and that's a problem; 2. hand histories would mean more than stats. Too tight/too loose from any position, at any stakes, is very relative to your opposition and how good you are post-flop. And these stats don't show any of that, so really, they don't mean very much. So you can pretty well expect to not get much in the way of constructive criticism. Post half a dozen hands you lost money with on the button and let's start there.

    Playing really laggy requires really good postflop skills. If you're losing, your postflop skills arent up to scratch.

    You're playing way too lose from the blinds/ep. You are probably raising limpers to light. If you are playing that loose from blinds-utg1 you aren't a lag you are a fish. Especially at 25nl.

    whatever dude, i'm just tryin to save you time and suffering. by the time you somehow manage to win with these stats, you woulda moved up 2 or 3 levels playing with more regular stats.

    if you're still bent on winning with those LAG stats you should post hands, not stats.
