PLO: What Is Your VPIP/PFR?

Newcomers often wonder what their preflop stats should be like at PLO. Here’s a general guideline.

This comes from a post I wrote on CardRunners, the PFR part having been adapted from Rollover2k’s comments.

VPIP/PFR As a rule, your VPIP (number of times you Voluntarily Put $ In the Pot, as a percentage) should be between 15 and 35, and your PFR (PreFlop Raise %) between 15 and 25. Some players manage to play a winning style with higher VPIPs against decent opposition, but it takes a lot of experience.

You can generally assume small stakes players spew when their VPIP is higher than 50.

The Aggression Factor — (Bet % + Raise %) / Call % — just gives a broad idea of how aggressive a player is, and you shouldn’t rely too heavily on it. Aggression Frequency is reported to be more accurate; I haven’t looked for them in my database, but I might provide similar estimates for it later on.
