On a site like Paradise where you can look at your stats/win %
What would be considered good after say 50-60-ish hands, or an hour of play.
as far as:
Games won, showdowns won, and win% if you see the flop.

Also, I generally seem to be playing 35% of hands I get, after about 60 hands or an hour.
so that's about 20 hands.
Let's assume that probably, 6 or 7, were crap hands I got on the blinds, and everyone limped in, so I checked, maybe I got lucky, maybe not...but

That means I saw 13 hands, and said "Man, I'm playin' these".

Is that too many to be playing, in General?

Also, I'm sorry for any mathmatical mistakes

thanks guys

In 1 hr, these numbers are likely more representative of the cards you happened to get than your play. If you're talking about a 10 handed limit hold'em game, I think these are reasonable ranges over the long-term:

Games won 6-8%
Showdowns won 50-60%
Win% if sf ~28% (guessing)

Again, you could get a run of good cards and this number could just reflect that. Though it depends on the game and your relative skill, sf ~25% is probably a reasonable number. 35% seems much too high.

Ok, so I should consider these stats more, around 3 times that amount, maybe more like 150 hands seen...

but these numbers help as to know where I'm at.
thanks

Umm, no. These stats probably converge to their long-term values pretty quickly-- maybe in a few thousand hands. Anything can happen in a single session of ~150 hands. These stats are really not something you should worry about though.

Concentrate on playing well. Hopefully you have a good guide like Hilger's "Internet Texas Hold'em" or Miller's "Small Stakes Hold'em." If you play well, all of your stats will take care of themselves.

Dont worry about stats in the short run. Absolutely anything could happen in the short term. Its the long term trends you need to watch.

As others have said. Stats in the short term don't mean much.

That said..... 35% seen flop in probably a little loose at a full table. If you follow a general starting hand table this will fall in the 20's long term. But for a session, all these stats will depend on the cards you get, and luck.

Hopefully your "won $ when went to SD" is 50% or more, but it won't always be - and don't revise your play to make it so, unless you see this as a trend.
