Won at showdon %age

Over my last 11,000 hands I have a won at showdown stat of just under 45% (I went to showdown almost 20% of the time). Now I know that last year, after about 30,000 hands, it was 54% and I was fairly happy with that. However, my BB/100 stat is marginally higher now, so is this figure one I should be worrying about?

My theory/hope is that it is a reaction to being too weak tight - I am now staying in more pots when I can do so cheaply, and making more crying calls on the river when I am getting, say, 4:1 or better odds. But is this, in itself, bad play? Any other thoughts, or advice, or shared experiences?

i don't think you have anything to worry about

Supposedly, if you have W$@SD less than 50, you are making bad calls.

Supposedly, if you have W$@SD more than 55, you aren't getting enough value out of marginal situations (e.g. not flipping with shorties, not protecting your blinds, not playing draws aggressively).

FWIW mine hovers around 52.

What are your went to showdown stats?
