Reliability of Online Stats

[Al Mirpuri]

Do the online cardrooms count your blinds as not being pre-flop folds, even if, you do indeed fold in the blinds?

Well - Pacific counds EVERYTHING and add's 15%.

i've thought this as well.

a SB or BB that folds to the raise may get included in the percentage because they actually did put money into the pot (even though they didn't see the flop).

it wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the sites did this (semi-unknowingly).

pacific's software is so screwy and their flop-percentages so inflated that it seems a legitimate explanation.

although someone else posted that they got a response from pacific CS that the flop percentages are for the last 24-hours at that table. meaning the 2 hours that the table had heads-up play at 3a.m. also gets included in the flop-percentages when it is a full-table at 7 p.m.
if this is true then that would be even wackier then just including the blinds in the SF%.

LAST 24 hours?? LOL - well - that's a valid number - jesus!

Micro - you are right. i've often thought they counted when tables go belly up (as they do a lot).
