Default Re: Should I win 10% of hands in long run?

No. Equally skilled players may still have widely different playing styles. Playing style has a significant impact on the number of pots you will win.

The % of pots won is basically an unimportant stat - akin to junk science, really. Some might try to use it as justification for losing money ("It's not my fault! I'm only winning half as many pots as I'm supposed to!") but it means nothing. The game is not about winning pots, it's about winning the most $$$. Look at other numbers for better information on how you're playing. You may indeed be experiencing lower returns than you should due to variance, but don't look at the % of pots won to try to figure that out. It's just not going to tell you anything useful.
