Default Won $ at showdown % question

What is good? Mine is at 48% at 3/6. Can someone tell me what this means. My hunch is im calling down too much in situations where i think im being bluffed off the pot and i have something like AK (or two overcards). my W $ at SD% at 2/4 is like 56 or something. Should it ever be below 50%?

A low W$SD percentage usually indicates one of two things:
1) You are calling/betting the river too often with the worst hand
2) You are having a run of crap luck

Most of the time I'd say W$SD should be low 50's for a winning player (I think?). Given that you're not that far off, I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you already have quite a few hands under your belt. In that case, be conscious of calling down with AK UI against "bluffs" too much, but don't fold to one bet when you have legitimate hands. Just as your W$SD figure can be too low, it can be too high as well.

UI-unimproved
if the pot justified the percentage of my call with the percentage i think he may be bluffing, i call. a lot of spur of the moment estimation so you really need a read on players before you just call them down with A high unless they give you very obvious signs of say, a blind steal, or attempt at a pot steal. you are showing down 2nd best alot, but without numbers it could be variance, or just poor play postflop.

Yes, you would, but my point is that assuming that this was your W$SD over the long run (i.e., you're not just on a run of crap cards), the fact that it is below 50 may indicate that you often call with AK unimproved THINKING that the other player is bluffing much too often, even when that is not the case enough to make calling worthwhile.
