Went to showdown%

[Chopper]

the purpose for the number is to more to track others...not yourself, imo.

agree completely and would expect both players numbers to fall from 27%+/60%+ when they move off 10NL.

you may be surprised. i have been discussing this very topic lately w/ my brother.

i contend that you NEED to watch the number very closely, as it tells you when to semi-bluff, or value bet very accurately.

i see LAGs with high showdown numbers, too. mostly not, as they are pushing people off pots, but you still need to notice when you are up against one...you cant push back at him, which is a common play for a TAG when battling a LAG.

my favorites are the Loose-Aggressive-Passives...the ones that play hard pf, but dont bet postflop. i used to think they were aggressive, and push and push...then, wonder why they never left the pots. i noticed their StSD numbers were through the roof, and started value betting hands that beat their ranges, and let THEM tell me when they hit something big...and now i kill those guys. i like them better than LPP's.

aggression does go up as you go higher in levels, but always watch those SD #'s...in relation to what everyone else seems to be (and of course yourself)...you can still pick out the callers.
