    Pretty sure RCI is completely worthless unless your sample size is absolutely massive. I mean come on you have so many obvious river calls/folds(or at least they should be) that the times you actually seriously have to sit their and count combos aren't going to make a huge difference on the overall stat. It's only useful if you are calling WAY too much or folding WAY too much otherwise it's probably the most worthless stat.

    Also looking at SB/BB and isn't as valuable as looking at SB/BB versus steal attempts.

    cheers - I had been defending too much and probably badly and now it seems i've gone the other way. I was basically just giving away my blinds over this sample, without really noticing. Looks like i call too much vs steals, forgetting that positional disadvantage is huge - I need to think about how this is affected when ranges are poorly defined.
    cheers for the pointer
    over that sample:
    steal faced when i'm in blinds, both about 17%
    sb vs steal: fold - 84% raise - 6%
    bb vs steal: fold - 80% raise - 10%
