If you played 100,000 hands...

If you played 100,000 hands should you expect to win 10,000 of them if you were playing 10 people ring games?

How did you figure that?

I might fold 75-80% of hand preflop. Then fold 75% of the called had on the flop when the flop misses so right there your down to what like 5%?

well... aren't you supposed to win 10% of the hands you are dealt?

hmm... so on average if there are 1000 hands deal to 10 people that are playing their winnings would not be consisted of 100 hands??

I guess if no one ever folded and 10 went to every showdown you would expect each player to win 10% over a large sample.

Playing a reasonable taggish game at full ring I'm guessing you should win about 6%-8% of all hands.

No...at small stakes you play fewer hands, but you make more money on them when you win and lose less money on them when they lose. It's about $$$, not individual pots.

This analysis is ridiculous, pointless and very basic. This is what my brother used to say to me while looking at his stats on Pokerroom while playing.

5% doesn't necessarily mean your game is wrong. You could be running bad.

I dare say that if you win only 5% in 100k (!) hands there is a problem with your game.

What difference does this make?/what was the motivation for this question?

To check your game. If you're supposed to win 10% and you only won 5% there is something wrong with your game.

(I checked: 9.9% won out of the last 100k hands FR)
