Default Re: Do these stats tell you anything?

a baseball player hits .500...

is he good? maybe the pitchers threw him gravy pitches the whole time....maybe the pitchers are in a lower class of players than he is....lots of possible factors..

i think just looking at stats is misleading and really cant tell you anything real in depth about your play....

sure one can say your seeing too many/too few flops, but they dont know what hands your seeing the flops with? but that also depends on what type of game your in. stats are only the thinnest surface in ones play....even if someone posts a win %, it may be skewed by the # of hands they played, or the amount of hours put in...a bad player CAN show a win %...though it should dissipate in time...

if you really want to assess your play, look at street by street play of hands and how you played them against certain opponents....preflop to showdown....

kind of like dynasty/clarks 30/40 hands that they posted....you could do the same. you could also check on hands by posting them up to the turn. ie....with flop action...to see how your flop play is...

however, the farther you go in the hand, the lesser hands id put in. 30-40 hands preflop was easy since their was only 1 street to deal with. but 30 hands played thru the turn would take abit to get through....
