Diagnostic / stats bridge

Are Your Poker Stats Actually Good?

A plausible VPIP does not mean the decisions inside it are good. Use aggregates to decide where to look next — then stop treating the number as a verdict.

What the symptom may mean

A candidate area worth inspecting.

What it does not prove

A single number is not a verified leak.

What to check next

Sample strength, then the hands behind the stat.

Questions

Can I tell if I am winning from VPIP and PFR alone?: No. Those stats describe how often you enter pots. They do not describe which hands you chose or how you played later streets.
When should I stop comparing my stats to a chart?: As soon as you have a candidate area. The next step is the hands, not a tighter color-coded range.
