Default Re: Hoi Polloi\'s highly anticipated stat post

Bryce:

Show me where I'm wrong here.

Player 1 goes to showdown 33% and wins 58%. Out of 100 hands where he sees the flop he wins about 19 showdowns.

Player 2 goes to showdown 40% and wins 50%. Out of 100 hands where he sees the flop he wins about 20 showdowns.

So player 2 goes to showdown 7 more times but wins one more pot. The average pot probably isn't 7 BB but player 2 isn't necessarily paying 1 BB for all those showdowns considering some rivers will go check-check when player 1 would have made a thin value bet. If the numbers closer to paying 5 BB to win that one extra pot, it looks a lot more like both players are winning the same. I do agree that player 1 is probably working harder at reading hands.
