How do you define a session? Obviously the longer the session, the more likely you are to be ahead by the end.

Really? This seems pretty impossible.

I thought it's like 80% but according the PT only 53.68%.

PT claims 47% but of course this means nothing due to how it's calculated.

Anything over 55% seems rare to me long term.

A 'winning session' to me is if I'm up overall at the end of my three hours play or whatever.

A 'winning session' to PT is if you leave any individual table up.

So of course, many times I'll sit at a table, play about 5 hands, spy a better one and leave instantly down $30 or so. Losing session. In my new db of about 40k hands, about a quarter of my sesions are less than 35 hands.

The stat pretty much means nothing if you jump tables a lot like myself.

OK. This makes sense. I am also below/around 50% and so are most of the people Ive talked to on 2+2.

Revlis could you plesae do the following before posting :
a)read help in PT
b)think a little about hand converter, its not that difficult for smart guy like you
c)make clear what you are asking for; "what % of session do you win" sounds like question about sessions not about some stupid PT stat...
If you keep coming up with questions about every PT stats which you dont understand you will flood this forum in no time, its really not that hard to find out what these stats mean by yourself.

EDIT: also consider moving down to 5/10 it may be cheaper to experiment there with all these allins

Best wishes

I'm at 73.77% over the last year. I've always wondered, however, if this is really proof that I'm not that good. The goal is to win the most money, not the most pots or the most sessions. It is possible that my stats are really evidence of over conservative play. Maybe I would win more money if I were willing to take slightly more risk that would increase my variance but also increase my overall return. I'm not sure and don't really know how to answer the question.
