Ok, I just want to see if I used poker tracker properly here:

I was at about 10BB/100 after 17,000 hands of 50NL. At that point I moved to 100NL.

I now have 7600 hands of stats at 100NL, and I'm at 2BB/100.
I feel I've been getting very cold carded, and wanted to see if this was the case. In particular I felt that my pocket pairs had been underperforming.

I almost always see a flop with my pocket pairs. You get a pocket pair about 1/17 hands, and they hit a set about 1/7.5 times. So after 7600 hands I should have had about 60 sets.

So I open up poker tracker, go to the miscellaneous tab, click "dont show hands that were folded" and look at the hands I had with three of a kind. I then scroll down and count the number of those hands which were sets (rather than trips), and get only 31.

So my pocket pairs have been performing badly as I thought, right?

I'm asking because Im surprised they could be perfoming *that* badly.

your sample size is like 10x too small

I'm just asking whether I'm correct that during these 7600 hands, my pocket pairs have made sets about half as often as they should have.

If you saw the flop 100% of the time when you had a PP, you should have 60 sets.

However, you don't see anywhere near 100% of flops with PP's, and you also forgot to look for 4 of a kind/FH's under that stat.
