Default Re: What Is Your Winning Session Percentage - Survey

40.28% 504 sessions 22,474 hands BUT...I've won 5.76BB/100 Go figure.

[/ QUOTE ]I know why. And I also know why this stat has no analytical value.

Its b/c if you pick up and leave a table after 1 orbit b/c you discover the table sucks, its counted as a losing session. Good online players should be willing to pick up and move frequently. Much more frequently than a live player is able to.

FWIW, my stat is 48% at 2/4. I'm not changing anything becasue of it.

I imagine this stat doesn't have a single optimal point. It probably depends a lot on the player’s methods and habits of picking and deciding whether to stay on a table. Perhaps if a player tends towards one extreme or the other it might indicate something suboptimal about their play, but other than that possibly I don't think anyone ought to be changing their playing style to try to move this stat.

Perhaps being at less than 50% winning session is a good indication. I started the survey without any hypothesis. But I think it's of some interest to get an idea what range successful players fall in, or to see if such a range even exists.
