People who want to know what the best "long term stats" are make me want to skull-**** an infant with a crowbar. You're playing an exploitive game. Getting people to make mistakes is how you make money. Stop worrying about good stats, or what style you think is "in" right now, and start worrying about how you can get some player to shuttle you sklansky bucks. This is not rocket science. Make people fold better hands when you have the worst of it, and make them put money in when your hand is best. And there's not stat that measures your ability to do this other than money you win over the long term. The only time stats become relevent is when you're thinking about your stats in relationship to someone you're trying to exploit. So if a donk's stack off preflop range is 3.2% of hands, and he shoves, then we should call with X.X% where X.X% makes our EV positive (and even then, how that X.X% is made up should change as well depending on the player). When I look at a micro grinder's stats, I usually think "Gee, he's seeing too many showdowns", because people at microlimits play straightforwardly for the most part. I'm not saying a WTSD of 25% is the most optimal number. But against the average fish you play against, you should probably be seeing that many. What you really need to get out of that advice is "Well, I'm probably calling too many river bets against ABC TAG's with TPMK type hands. Maybe I'll start more hands that make top-pair, medium kicker preflop to raises from ABC TAG players." Argh, I've edited this post like a trillion times and I don't think I'm making any sense. If anyone got anything out of it, w00t to you. [/QUOTE]
