Can someone teach me how the [censored] to win at SD?


[/ QUOTE ]

I know what you are saying but I just want to say something about the w$@sd% (won money at showdown %) stats. I know many of you know already what im about to say. Recently I heard few guys competing who has the biggest w$@sd%. Like it determines who is the best player. To point out, if your w$@sd% is too high, even like 55% or more ( large sample size) its a leak. It means you are not making thin enough valuebets on the river or calls.

If you didn't understand what I mean. Lets say theres 120$ in the pot, guy bets 40$. That means 40$ to win 160$, u only have to be good there 25% of the time to make money and 20% time to break even. Amateurs usually just think 'im not good here, I fold' Without thinking the probabilities. Your won$@sd% will suffer if u make those calls where u are good 25% of the time because obviously u only win at sd 25% of the time.


Same thing with valuebetting, u have to make thin valuebets to make optimal amount of money, that means your won$@sd% will suffer because the times u should valuebet u check behind and win it on the sd, u are not going to called everytime when u valuebet so u arent getting the sd win from those times.

flopped a set of aces after open raising otb and the bb calls...my internet connection goes nuts..1st time in forever. However, I probably won more that way...idk.

I didn't even know if the $50 raise went thru or not...it connected for just a second long to enough to type the 50 and enter...lucky me there anyway. I'd be interesting in hearing what you thought was going on skydance.
