Default Re: Showdown % too low? How to see more showdowns?

I'd say try to induce more bluffs. When you induce bluffs from the river, turn or even flop you resign yourself to seeing the showdown in many situations. You also eliminate 2 causes of low showdown. Your opponents folding, and your folding due to his actions. Simply calling down more only eliminates your folding from the equation. Also, if you are a winning player, simply lowering your calling down standards can be disastrous, especially in smallish pots. I think everyone's play is different, and you might not need more showdowns seen, but this seems like a logical reason.
