So I noticed a huge difference between my VPIP last calendar year and the way I current play. I'm counting this "way I currently play" as starting at around the beginning of this moneth when I started logging a ton more hours online after spending most of september at Wynn. Last year was consistently around 21, this year is around 15, over 50k and 35k hands respectively. After some use of excel I isolated the hands with the biggest difference between this year and last year. I'm mostly interested in who thinks which year was better for what hand.

(I'm sure part of it is due both to 8tabling and the games getting tougher, but I'm still not sure of these extreme differences)

2005 2004

A3s 20.67 45.10
QJs 67.65 90.21
J9o 2.23 19.96
T8s 32.35 55.36
97s 20.48 43.87
86s 10.99 38.36
66 56.82 87.28
55 51.43 74.71
54s 6.38 26.85
53s 1.90 19.39
44 38.51 64.00
33 32.68 54.30
22 17.05 23.90


I apologize for the barrage of stats, but I'm hoping someone will notice something and say "what the hell are (or were) you doing." I was quite surprised to find how differently I'm playing some of these hands.
