Re: Should I win 10% of hands in long run?
[ QUOTE ]
I just dont understand how when Im on the coldest of cold streaks I look at my stats and I have 5-6 won hands out of 1000 played, for a 1% (less than), yet when Im on the hottest of hot streaks I look and my winrate is like 9%.

Both numbers mean you're playing tighter than the average person at the table. If you win 9% of the hands and playing tightly so that you lose very little on the other 91%, you can be solidly ahead.
A style-neutral player should win 10% of the hands, with gains that perfectly offset his/her losses on the other 90%.
A maniac bordering on tilt might win 20% of the hands while frequently paying to see the flop, turn, etc. with second best on everything else. Those other 80% of the hands will ruin him.
It's different playing styles that make the game sustainably interesting.
