Other people's money

Every now and then I like to take a look at a percentage I call opm; it's short for "other people's money". It can only be calculated on hands where you won. opm is the percentage of your winnings which came from your opponents. The opm percentage has an upper bound of (num_players - 1) / (num_players); at a 9 player table, the upper bound is therefore 8 / 9, or .888888...

In practice, it's quite difficult to achieve an opm percentage of 80 or better, especially if there's a lot of betting going on. The more action there is, the more likely people are to drop out before showdown, which brings down the opm.

Last night, on the penultimate hand of the night, I won a pot worth $22,900 with a king high straight. Fully $18,100 of this was other people's money, so the opm percentage came out to 79.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 29 hands and saw flop:
 - 2 out of 3 times while in big blind (66%)
 - 3 out of 4 times while in small blind (75%)
 - 16 out of 22 times in other positions (72%)
 - a total of 21 out of 29 (72%)
 Pots won at showdown - 3 of 5 (60%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1
