My VP$IP is high. Like 0.42. I am very tight with my hand selection. Playing strict positional play.

I only play 6 handed. Is it a bad thing to have a VP$IP this high even is I am playing strictly 6 handed?

optimum at low limits seems to be 18->25%

You're playing way too loose

42% VPIP?

Seems too high.

Optimal at low stakes is probably around 20% for 6max.

Edit: I didn't read Dems post and put it into my own words honest.

Seriously Loz what hands do you play?
I couldn't play that many hands if I tried. A2o? Q6s? J4?

The reason why 6max is profitable for good players isn't because good players are aggressive and aggression is good for shorthanded play.

The reason why good players fare well in shorthanded games is because players enter raised pots holding hands that too often make the second best hand and the aggressive players extract value.

Your VPIP in 6max shouldn't be much different from your VPIP in FR in the Blinds through the Button+3.

ok. I am going to go trough my history and find out what I am playing that I shouldn't and what is losing. Like I will play 89o, 9To in late position. They are losers for me. I will drop them from my hands I play late.

You should also replay the bigger pots the hands from which you're losing most. Connectors, suited or not, are the types that you wanna win big pots and lose small ones. If pot control is an issue, especially in family pots, you might wanna limp less liberally in general and out of position, play an "if I can't raise with it, I won't play it" mentality.

I have 26%
My preflop raise = 16%

seemes like your loose as hell. And if your not raising the hands your playing pf, you will get handled. So play less hands, and raise more often.

however if it 0.42 instead of 42, then yeah, you are tight as hell iDK if it is possible though

I raise 27%.

dude that is freaking aggressive
this isnt like 3 or 4 handed? but 6 handed?

If your first in with these hands late - raise heavily- they're not calling hands. They serve to hit the blinds and improve your image..

If you have a read on a player.. they can work well as a re-raise in late.. to isolate AK/AQ - a weak flop then yields to a cb..

At low limits a re-raise all-in preflop usually means JJ -> AA (its a good idea to fold at that point )
