Your Saw Flop%

[Sam T.]

I used to be much higher than I am now, but tend to run at around 17%, and find my game has gotten much better. Basically I started mucking many more hands in EP. I don't know if I want to go as low as 5% (and have to think someone is jerking your chain here?). It also might be worth looking at your PFR numbers if you have PokerTracker. Limping a lot of pots (after the first few levels) or cold-calling raises is often a leak.

Also remember that there is a difference between VP$IP and saw flop. If you are doing a lot of sealing on the bubble, your VP$IP will be quite high, while you won't see many flops.

Bear in mind that this will change over the course of a tournament. As the tables tighten up, you can open more pots, especially if you have a big stack.

I'm trying my best to tighten back up again. I looked back at some of my rebuy victories, and was usually around 7-10%.

Yeah. When I made a FT in a rebuy the other night I started out at about 39% during the hectic rebuy hour. At the end I was at 20% for the tourney. I am definetly going to take a harder look at my play and kick myself a few more times. All this time I thought 20% was tight, boy was I wrong.
