I loosened up in the blinds and my game went to crap.

I have decided to put in 100,000 hands at 2/4. So far I'm up to 18k in hands. The first 10K went great but after that It seems my game has falling apart. At the very least Its gotten a lot more "swingie". Any and all comments are appreciated.

Honestly, this is pretty standard variance. Cranking your VPIP up a few percent is going to increase your variance, so I wouldn't read very much into the graph.

23VPIP is on the high end of what people here would recommend for a full-ring, so it's possible you might have loosened up too much.

Seems like pretty standard variance. 23% VPIP seems high to me for a 2/4 ring game. I think you should be looking at 17-21 there. Also it seems like you need to attempt to steal blinds more. Other than that you are having a great run and doing good.

You're not stealing blinds nearly enough...

Did you notice that your Won$@SD was about 5% less than before? Looks to me like your just running into too many suckouts which gets to be very expensive.

Happens to the best of us.

Ummm, I think these are not nearly enough hands to conclude that looser blind play is a directly responsible for more variance. I think having a VPIP greater than 20 in a full game is going to have alot more variance than lets say a player who is 17/9/1.7
