What is a good percentage for Won $ at Showdown?

[Lansing]

I am a 3BB player at 3/6 and 5/10, yet my PT stats never get above about 52-53% for Won % at SD. It's a very large sample size, so that's what I play at I guess.

Doesn't that seem like a super crummy % to you all though? Or am I nuts? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Mine's like 52%.

Over my last 14k hands, where I've been running good (but not like amazingly or anything), mine is 51.8%.

[Lansing]

Whew, thanks. I was getting worried that I was just on an exceptionally long and lucky run of winning very large pots and losing very small ones (though it never feels that way!).

Hey Lansing,

Mine's 58-59% now. My number in this category is way higher than most who post here, so I'm not necessarily endorsing you aim for it. It's just how much meta-game works out. The style endorsed by the SS and Mid-stakes forum will put you in the low 50's it seems, since that's where most everybody is there. I just thought I'd post mine 'cause I often get quoted as having a W$SD just over 60%. It used to be 60-61%, but I've made some slight adjustments for various reasons that have brought it down just a tidge, so now it's just under 60.

Can I ask what (general) part of your game accounts for this rather large difference? What do you do differently?

He folds more postflop.

Mine is at 46.9% (PP .5/1). Am I not folding enough?

We can't really say, as this is not enough information. I will say this though, a great player will fold the river if he is beat. No point in "keeping someone honest".

[ChicagoTroy]

This may be a silly question, but how do you know? There are two things that would raise the number, folding more postflop or playing much fewer hands preflop. Or both.

Yes I realize GoT is an awfully good player and makes tons of laydowns in the right spots. I guess what I was asking about is if there are some basic situations where GoT folds where others don't. Like when he's raised on the turn with TPTK or whatever (just an example)

[berya]

Can I ask what's your flops seen percentage?

My current PT shows 55% overall. This is at mostly 2/4 with a touch of 1/2 and 3/6.

A very aggressive player can have a won $ at showdown pct under 50 if they are winning a lot of pots uncontested too. (you'd have to be vpip upper 20's, went to showdown upper 30's, and winning 40% of the times you see a flop though to be a consistent winner if you are only winning 45-48% of showdowns however, I believe)
