I liked Krishan's analysis, but I think there are a number of holes in it in terms of proving one is running good or bad.

The effect of a handful of extra premiums is often drowned out by 5% more or less 1 pair hands winning at showdown - simply because the difference in $ won between premiums + 1 pair hands is not great, but the number of 1 pair hands is enormous compared to premiums.

Everyone plays full houses pretty well. The real money is won and lost in the marginal situations - taking the correct A-highs and bottom pairs to showdown, and knowing when to fold top pair, etc. There is far more to be inferred from the amount + quality of 1 pair hands at showdown than premiums IMHO.
