| re: What's this mean? poker If it were a large enough sample it would mean that you go to showdown way too often. You're at 99% right now....even if you were at like 70% i'd still say you were a bit too high. You probably play too many starting hands, or you don't know how to fold a hand when you're beat. I'd be interested to see what you're W$WSD% is. I'm guessing its at like 30% or so, which is horrible. |

| Your WTSD (Went to Showdown) and W$SD (Won $ at Showdown) are more important than that graph. But if your WTSD is higher than 99% of the other players (I'm not even sure what that translates to, but it looks scary - 38%+? higher? yikes), there's definitely something bizarre about your postflop play as others have pointed out - cj above I think has it pretty much nailed, not just possibly calling down too much (which is very likely), but you may also be inviting people to call you by making bets that are too small when you're ahead (losing value). Kyle, I don't think this is related to starting hands, he could have a 10 VPIP and still go to showdown more often than 99% of players? |

| re: What's this mean? poker The biggest mistake is the same for beginners AND pros. Playing too many hands, and for good reason - people like to play. Folding pre-flop means just sitting there watching hand after hand. Even the pros get itchy and play hands they shouldn't (they play them better than I do , but still ...) |

| Assume for a moment AF (atlanta falcons) only starts with the 2 or 3 most premium hands, and hits like gravity pulling my man boobs toward my belt line...... W$WSD is necessary here. But like others I wonder what hand caused you to not be 100% ????? |

| I've scanned the thread but I dunno if a proper explanation has been given. Going to showdown means you went to the river and bet/called and you have to show your hand. You go to showdown more often than 99% of the players at your limit. Why is this bad. Well it means people can get full value out of you. They can bet bet bet and know you'll call. You're a calling station. I dunno how many hands you play pre-flop, your VPIP, but It's likely to be high, calling stations like to call pre-flop too. Advice. Stop calling. Every time you have a decision to make, try thinking whether raising or folding are better options, they often are. Think about why you are making an action. That's the key to better poker. I think it's accepted that 50% WTSD (Went to showdown) is optimum or at least a gd target. If you have Pokertracker or HEM then have a look to see what yours is, it should be sky high. Good luck. |

As to the OP 99% is too high no matter what for any decent sample size but if he were exceedingly tight preflop, seeing a high percentage of SDs in a 2nl cap plo game wouldn't be too horrible. Somehow I doubt the OP is only playing AAxx double suited hands though. |
