Obviously, the range of hands has to open up with an ante structure like Party's, especially in an unraised pot. .25 to call when the pot is already 2.25 after the bring in is a good price for a lot of marginal hands, especially in the passive games usually found at that limit.
My numbers, after only 1200 hands of Party .5/1, are VP$IP 32.27!!! Seems way too high, but I am +3.5 BB/100. I suspect a larger sample would lower both of those numbers.
My 2/4 VP$IP, after 650 hands so again not a large enough sample, is 15.55. I am also -4.2BB/100. I'll be interested to see how these numbers come out over 10k hands.
Flafishy and Jus, eventually these numbers should converge for any given range of opponents and table types, so that the stats will have meaning. I agree that your reads and table feel should influence your decision at hand, and correctly reading the cards that are out and knowing which cards are live is critical, but over the long run these stats should be a decent gauge of your game. I think other key stats, besides VP$IP and 3rd St. Raise%, will be 6th street seen and W$SD, and the correlation between those.
