River Statistic

[Benman]

Pokertracker tells me that when I bet or raise on the river, and there is a showdown, that I win money 74 percent of the time. This is too high, right? What is the ideal figure, 51 percent? Something tells me that isn't right either.

[Grisgra]

Absolutely too high. You need to start betting/raising the river when you're behind, so that you can bring that stat down to 51%.

Eh, I prefer the GuyOnTilt method of winning closer to 60% of showdowns.

This is a different stat than W$SD. Your W$SD will be less because your crying calls and checked-through rivers with busted draws will bring it down.

Usually you only bet/raise the river with what you think is the best hand (in multi-way pots), so this number should be higher.
