I understand it literally means "Voluntarily putting money in the pot" but a question came up in my talk group. If you dont see a flop, is it counted as VPIP? Examples: (1) You limp and there is a raise and you fold. Does that count as VPIP if you didnt see a flop? ; (2) You raise pre flop and no one calls and you win . Does it count as VPIP? ; (3) Does VPIP take into consideration post flop play from the BB? Why not if you are playing the hand.; (4) If a player limps every hand but folds to any raise, thus reducing their VPIP, are they considered tight or loose?
If VPIP is a measure if how tight or loose a player is preflop, does it really matter if the player doesnt see a flop.
Thanks for helping us clear up the matter.
