First the disclaimer: I don't use any data mining tools like PT and I don't play short-handed.

The biggest point I can make is that if you're a profitable player *and* you're winning less than 60% of the time at showdown, you're not folding too much on the river.

Turn play is where the real skill comes in, and I don't know if I'm skilled enough to make any generalized comments here, but my suggestion is to post some hands that you took to showdown and lost with the goal of examining turn decisions.

Also, don't get too hung up on the difference between your win rate and TP's. If 3% of the hands you lost at showdown turned into wins, and vice versa for him, your win rates would be much closer. Be careful of overvaluing small differences in stats. I'm a firm believer that there are three levels of untruth in life: lies, vicious lies, and statistics. That being said, big differences should stand out. In this case the cr % differences between TP and yourself - which seems to indicate that TP's additional earn comes on the turn.
