Default Re: 5-10 , winning % at showdown

When you get up to 5/10 and higher, you really can't take a simple PT statistic and use it to judge your play anymore. While just playing ABC poker to get your stats within the accepted norms will work well on the microlimits, and to a lesser extent on 2/4 and even 3/6, when it comes to 5/10 & up the key really is your postflop play. Specifically, maximizing your wins and minimizing your losses on each hand you play.

You also have to take into consideration the fact that fewer hands are going to showdown on these limits. You can (and should) be netting a good deal of your winnings via blind steals and pots won on the turn.

If you do want statistical analysis, then it's probably safe to say that if your WtSD & W$SD are close to normal, but your WR is poor, then you are probably guilty of either overplaying your hands when beaten, or playing too passively when you're good. And probably not stealing the blinds often enough.
