Okay so ive been playing a lot the last couple of days and yes bear in mind my sample size is only what <3k but heres the one thing i dont understand. my w$sd How can this happen with that kind of w$sd.. I mean i understand if it was <=50 but its not. :'( am i just one big retarded player or should i continue to destroy my bankroll hoping it will turn around if i keep playing the way i am atm ? The stupid thing is that I actually feel like im playing well. with a few mistakes here and there though

heres my stats

and the result of these amazing stats are :

I don't think this is very unusual at all. W$SD% is just the frequency of you winning at showdown. It's not necessarily a good measure of how lucky you've been getting or how well you've been playing.
Three other, equally important factors not included in the W$SD% stat:
1) The total size of pots won or lost at showdown
2) Frequency of you winning without a showdown
3) The total size of pots won or lost without showdown

oh i get it. ive lost huge pots and won small ones. even though i dont feel it happened at all. but yeah okay. .. So basically as long as my w$sd% is above 50 im in the long run going to be + ? or am i just retarded at this ? as i see my 5/Tc graph with a w$sd% at 53 too over 161k hands im 3kBB up (equal $300)

bahh I dont know what to do :/

no. you could have a 100% w$sd and still be losing or a 0% w$sd and still be winning.

I think you have won the small pots and lost big multiway pots. I have noticed that 3-handed and 4-handed when it goes to a cap on turn, you are not folding. Understandable, but often close decisions. If you always go to showdown in these spots, I think you overdo it. I have no particular example, it is just a general thought from having read many hand evaluations of your hands.

Well, the nice guys over here have all told you that it is possible to play well and lose. (This is what you want to hear.)

I'm telling you that it is possible to play badly and lose. Like probably in your case.

Your English, by the way, is getting more and more incoherent. The only thing I understood in your post was "idiot", mostly because I had been expecting to see it.

I did want to help you. I suggested an explanation (a very reasonable one) for your recent negative win-rate.

The most likely reason for losing is playing worse than your opponents. The second most likely reason is that you run bad. Are you arguing against that?
