-200 BB graph and VPIP questions

[btspider]

9000 hands and 18 days after I was literally one win away from my 1/2 goal of 10K hands and 300+ BB's, I am finally over the hump*. I finish my 1/2 stretch at a modest +1.57 BB/100, but I think I'm a much better player for surviving this.

While I'm trying not to overanalyze my stats, I did notice a distinct drop in my VPIP pre and post slide. In the 13K hands up to and including the slide, I was a 16.38 VPIP player. In the 5.5K (sample size disclaimer), I have been playing at 14.72 VPIP. Do others find VPIP changes to be a typical response to your more severe down (and up?) swings?

I'm fine with having a sub 15 VPIP, but am always on the lookout for changes in my play and want to re-include the more marginal profitable 1/2 situations.



* Actually I'm at +297 BB's, so barring another slide, I hope to be playing 2/4 later this weekend.
