    Default What is a good % of flops seen for a tight player?

    What is a good % of flops seen for a tight player? I am trying to tighten up a bit because I get tired of the radical swings of my somewhat loose online game. I haven't kept track of this historically. My current session has run about 3 hours, and it shows 26% flops seen out of 183 hands. Is the sample size too small? I feel like I've been playing pretty tight - basically following the guidelines from Harrington's hold 'em book, and Harrington isn't called "[No-]Action Dan" for nothin'. But maybe I'm just getting better than usual hands? I also suspect that the tables I've been on have something to do with it. The environment is a little loose/passive so I'm getting in from the blinds more often than usual (but often folding to the first flop bet).

    If you're seeing >25% you want to know pretty much for sure that

    -opps are looser than that
    -your postflop skills are at least as good as theirs

    I personally don't believe in a hard and fast "this is how many flops you should see in order to be good" mentality. You need to know why you're seeing each flop that you see -- if that's the case 100% is acceptable

    I always end up at about 27 % flops seen. I consider this tight compared to my tables (which usually have ~50 % of players seeing the flop) so I see no reason of tightening that up.

    I wonder about that. It seems like the tables I'm on, usually 3-4 people see each flop. Sometimes you get one on one, and occasionally everyone folds to one big raise, but probably eight hands per orbit have at least 3 callers. Even a 3X BB raise will usually get three other callers. So I must be tighter than the table most of the time.

    I'll run 2-3 tables and see 18-22% usually. This is over 200-600 hands sometimes more.
    Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

    Maybe you should be tighter with hands like KJ and looser with hands like AXs.

    I've seen you on a few 25 PL tables on party and if we are discussing those tables, then I would say 26% is about right. If you are anything like me with table selection then you'll be picking the tables with a average pot size on the high side and I figure higher average pot size equals looser play. Against these loose players being too tight makes you lose out on many opportunities. This is just my opnion though.. and I have no evidence to support it.
