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%?

[JaneTheHot]

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

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.

[JaneTheHot]

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.

If all 10 players saw a showdown every single hand, then yes, you would win 10% of your hands, just like all other players. Is this what happens? What difference does this make?/what was the motivation for this question?

No, as usually the most aggressive player at the table, ( unless there is a maniac around) I would expect to win more like 11,000.

I'm usually close to that figure. Especially at higher limits you expect to win about the same number of hands, maybe slightly more if you bluff well, and your winnings come from losing a bet less or winning a bet more on those hands.
