I recently downloaded PokerTracker and it seems like since then I've become increasingly concerned about my statistics.
I've only got about 6000 hands in my database so far, so I've been reluctant to draw any conclusions as of yet, but one thing that has me a litte puzzled is my VPIP.
It seems that over the course of those 6000 hands I've been ridiculously tight, yet my winrate is unsustainably high. I'm not complaining, mind you, I'm just trying to figure this out. I don't feel like I'm playing any tighter than I have in the past, but for all I know I may have ALWAYS been too tight. I can't help but think that even though my winrate is good, it might be even better if I loosened up some. I honestly don't know where I would do that though.
The sample size is tiny, so I'm wondering if I should draw any conclusions from this at all, or just relax and keep playing. If that's the case, how many hands are needed before I can use this as an accurate guage? I don't want to go overboard with this stuff, but it also seems like I should be able to use this information in some way before I have 100,000 hands to go off of.
If this question requires a "Dude, those 6000 hands are a drop in the bucket so shut your pie-hole" response, feel free to let me have it.
