WTSD%

[MarkD]

I typically don't make stat posts but this is one stat I've always been curious about. In the past I have seen a lot of people on this board post what I consider to be very high WTSD% numbers. I've seen people post numbers close to 40% and some even higher.

All of the following are from the Party 15 game.

My numbers over the past 7500 hands are (since mid approximately mid june):
WTSD = 30.76
W$SD = 58.1

From January to Mid-April I ran very bad (and moved down for a while) and my numbers for this period are (total hands = 14906):
WTSD = 31.76
W$SD = 54.63

My numbers over the past 48500 hands are:
WTSD = 30.2
W$SD = 51.72

This is the first time that I have ever looked at these numbers in this way before. It seems that the WTSD stat is fairly consistenet for my game (and is much lower than many of yours) and has little impact on my bottom line, whereas the W$SD has a large impact on my bottom line (which it obviously should).

Now, what I'm wondering is what are some of you winning 15/30 or higher players seeing for your WTSD stat? I'm mainly interested in 7-10 handed games (although I did not filter my stats) as I believe your WTSD should be higher short handed.

And, for those of you with much higher WTSD statistics I am curious what you feel you do differently than I might be doing. Obviously you don't know how I play and I don't know how you play but I am curious about any hypothesis you may have as to what the difference in styles may be.

I feel that, if my stat is much lower than it should be this could be a large leak in my development as a player because if I am folding too much post-flop I will be easy to exploit as I move up in limits.

ps. I have tried to raise this number in the past and have not been successful. I felt as if I was paying off much too often with little benefit and also felt like I was probably costing myself money.

edit: Edited to fix a date and add a number of hands.
