Re: Showdown percentages for full ring LO8 - 45% ??
[ QUOTE ]
Actually I was arguing the opposite: if opponents are loose, the odds that someone has made the nuts on a particular board are greater, so you shouldn't call down as light...

To add to that, at the micro/low limits, with your opponents playing between 40% - 70% of their hands, unless you've flopped the nuts or have a monster draw to the nuts, you don't really know where you stand. That's why tight is right as these levels. I think the 45% for Went to Showdown is a little deceiving. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on trying to get there. My point is, the majority of the players don't pay attention at the table or realize that you have only played 4 out of 30 hands. Here's a perfect example from my LO8 SNG last night. At this point in the SNG I had only played 5 out of 35 hands voluntarily. I apoligze for not using a hand converter. I'm at work and they block all the gambooling sites [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
