Straight forward stats question

You can do very nicely with a 19% PFR assuming it's the right 19%. Most of the money you win comes from a relatively small number of good hands. Of course you are leaving some money on the table because you are folding a bunch of marginally profitable hands.

I'm assuming that you do not follow up tight preflop play by being too tight on the flop. That is very common and would be bad.

Overly tight play tends to lose effectiveness over time as people notice and begin to steal more.

One thing about a 2/4 game is many people almost never steal. You must not overdefend your blinds against these players unless you want to lose your shirt. Loosening up isn't always good.

With a 50% SB? That's part of the problem here.

But no doubt he could have done it. 19% is not a big deal by itself as long as there aren't postflop issues in the same package.

What limit was Vehn playing?

VP$IP should be higher when it only costs 1/2 bet to complete the small blind. It also should be higher in a more passive lower-limit game. 19% is more understandable at 5/10 than in the 2/4 game OP asked about.
