Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
My show down # is only 25.92% do I fold too often when I have the winner? I think I certainly do -- not as much now though as I did in the beginning. Grrr I don't do well when I am out of position and I end up folding when I may at times have a winner.

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
We're talking about W$SD (won money at showdown), not WTSD. 25.9's a perfectly reasonable number for WTSD.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] if your W$SD is too high you're probably giving up value by not semi-bluffing/looking people up enough. [/ QUOTE ] if you can tell this from someone's W$SD, how is it a worthless stat? [/ QUOTE ] oops [/ QUOTE ] Isnt it super easy to just download all the stats of people that you have 5,000+ hands of and see if there is a correlation to winrate? I think that your thread title will end up being w$sd is a non-correlative (to winrate) stat. |

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
There's a definite correlation. It's just that one doesn't necessarily increase with the other. For instance, I'd guess that players who's W$SD is between say 44 and 54 have much higher winrates than players who's W$SD is outside of those bounds.
It's a stat just like VPIP where you're trying to get close to an optimal range rather than just trying to make it as small or as large as possible. |

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
Good point Iggy, it may not be linear.
Also, you shouldn't just look at people with x,000+ hands because it probably eliminates losers. Or I guess if you do limit it that way the question is more like, "Of players who play a lot, what is the best range for this stat". |

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
If you look at it in the short-term though, there probably would be a linear relationship since the people with really high W$SD in the short-term would be the ones were running hot. I think the data you get for people with >5000 hands would be much more accurate than the data for people who played less, even if there was still a little bit of a bias.

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
the problem is that i don't have a database nearly big enough to do any meaningful analysis on this stuff, since both winrate and w$sd are extremely volatile. and on top of that there are going to be tons of biases -- e.g., people who run hot in their showdowns are more likely to keep playing, etc.

[/ QUOTE ] This hypothesis could easily be tested. It's a well known assumption that losing gamblers quit. So the people that only play a little bit, what is THEIR w$sd? Along the same lines, I would bet that of all the people in pf's database with <500 hands, their VPIP is greater than the people in pf's database with >5,000 hands. |

Re: w$sd is a worthless stat (semi-brag)
my stats are 53.3 w$sd, 6.14 bb/100...60k hands
