A formula for success

I have enough poker data now to be able to formulate hyphotheses and prove or disprove them quickly by seeing if the data bears them out. Looking at my session stats from last night, I'm no longer on the fence about which stat is more important, the seeing the flop percentage or the showdown percentage. It's clear that the seeing the flop percentage is more important. If you can keep this number under 50, you'll greatly increase your chances of having a winning session. Many of your opponents won't be able to stay below 50, and you'll eat their lunch. I've noted this before, but it still surprises me - you really don't need a lot of winning hands to have a winning session. Last night I only had three, but they turned out to be enough.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 59 hands and saw flop:
 - 6 out of 9 times while in big blind (66%)
 - 6 out of 9 times while in small blind (66%)
 - 13 out of 41 times in other positions (31%)
 - a total of 25 out of 59 (42%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 8 (25%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $5,122
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,043,825
balance: $6,493,233
