Re: Using Past Performance to Make Showdown Decision
[ QUOTE ]
The other slight problem with this approach is the randomness in poker. You would have to play at least 10K hands or so each time you made an ajdustment to see if you were on track. With smaller sample sizes, the changes in these %'s aren't all that meaningful.

Good point. I'm assuming you start with some substantial number of hands already played. At that point, your numbers are going to have some "inertia" -- that won't be substantially changed by a few hands. You're not going to go from playing 10% of high cards at showdown to 50% overnight.
On the other hand, now that I think about it, you likely play so few hands in that situation that maybe you would see radically swings. Hmm, I'll have to think about it.
I've started doing this just as an experiment, and so far it has affected exactly 1 decision :-).
