Just to clarify, you mean boards where those draws haven't come in, right? There's plenty of opponents that will c/r any draw when headsup, etc.

Right. I'm trying to see showdown on boards with 2-flush, 2-straights that don't come in for exactly that reason, to pick off aggressive players betting draws.

What seems to be happening is I'm winning the small pots that mostly fail to see showdown (my continuation bet picks it up, or they check/fold). I'm losing the bigger pots that end up at showdown, ones I'd been folding before.

Win small, lose big, isn't conducive to +EV. I'm sure there's some poker tuition learning curve here in getting to showdown. My original point was that don't screw with your game to fix a stat. Rather, keep in your mind the stat is off and perhaps do more offline hand studies. Trying to adjust it during actual play seems to be a recipe for disaster and isn't good for the confidence you need to maintain during play.
