Hi FTR, 1st post - and would like to send out the usual thanks to all the contributors that make this a sensational site for online NL players to improve their games.

I could not find a discussion on this topic - and wanted to get some thoughts...

Does a VP$IP represent a range of hands? Assuming you have ~200+ hands on an opponent and he has 17% VP$IP - can you ascertain his starting hands? What about 24%? Or <10%? It seems that small increments can be down to sample size - but suspect that at the smaller percentages that 3% blocks represent different starting hand selections?

Looking forward to your thoughts and discussion on this.

Once again - hi to all - and hope to post more in future...
