Message: [QUOTE="dufferdevon, post: 1214193, member: 31254"] I was going to start doing this myself about a month ago. The reason was to see if the percentages were holding up (I was winning 75% of the time when I was a 75% favourite in the hand). Then I started to check the odds of the hands I was up against and found out a very scary statistic. Even though your hand may be a favourite going in, its not that big a favourite. Even AK vs A6 is only a 75/25 and AJ vs KQ is only 60/40. Those are very slight advantages. That's why poker is a game of skill [B]over time, [/B]any idiot can get lucky and have a rush of cards. If you are going to track anything, track your ROI, review your games and make sure you get your money in ahead most of the time and most of the time you will come out ahead. P.S. I just had this hand while typing my response. What can you do? I know I played it correct.
