My Won $ at Showdown is currently at around 59.5%...

I've been told it should be at 52% (+/- 1%) and therefore I'm running hot?

I play 2NL 6-max if limits make any difference!

Possibly running hot. Possibly folding too often on the river. What's your Went To Showdown?

Just to clarify, it doesn't matter if the fold is on the river although thats typically where the leak is since the bet sizes are larger there.

Went to Showdown is 28%, folding to bets is 65/55/55 on flop/turn/river respectively, and flop to 46/40/30 of raises but there's only 200 raises in total over all 3 streets

Yeah, I meant what you said. Overall point being that, counter-intuitive as it may seem, a higher W$SD percentage isn't necessarily better.

OP, with a WTSD of 28%, I'd say you're running hot.

Well it looks like you are playing ultra-tight preflop, so you're probably losing a lot from the blinds. WTSD of 28% is pretty normal I believe, but 59% is unlikely over a reasonable sample of hands. How big is the sample size?

Sample size is 20k.

I play 17/10 because there are so many calling stations at 2NL 6-max that there is no point trying to bluff with a weak hand, they'll quite happily chase their draws and catch a high pair on the end :)

There's also the possibility that you're simply not betting often enough postflop. That should have the same effect on your W$SD.

I've got an Af of 2.05 but I seem to be checking 50% of hands and betting just over 20%...

I'd be very appreciative if I could send the stats to someone who knew what they meant and they could identify a couple of leaks in my game :)
