running bad: stat question

[stinkypete]

is it normal for your went to SD to go up 4-5 points when you're running really bad? or do i tilt and start calling down way too much?

[Catt]

My WTSD doesn't seem to change much (sometimes drops when I just miss, miss, miss flops). My W$SD often drops noticeably, though. Don't know what this means, but maybe look at some calldowns for questionable decision-making.

[whodaman]

my first thought is you tilt, but i have no real evidence

that would make sense.

I didnt read the OP closely enough and whatever I posted has no merit what so ever

if your running real bad then your deviation from the mean is going to be alot higher over a small sample size. Which should explain the high SD.

my went to showdown almost always gets higher when i'm running bad. it's not because the sample size is too small.

Mine tends to be lower actually, since I'm a.) not hitting as many flops and b.) folding to more raises on the turn and river when passive players suckout.

[Trix]

Mine gets higher as people fold the flop, turn, river less often vs me.

Also, I think you are forced to call down more, even vs passive players if they see you fold a couple of times, so that will make it higher aswell.

It's also possible that you're making more second-best, showdown-able hands than usual.

[Danenania]

True. Guess it just depends on what type of bad you're running.
