SD or NonSD?

[melioris]

This is a simple poll. For you cash game players out there, do the majority of your winnings come from showdown hands (SD) or non-showdown (non-SD) hands? Please answer truthfully. It doesn't matter if you are a winning player or a losing player, online or live, if you are playing nosebleed or µ-stakes. Once you vote, please response with the game you play(NLHE, LHE, omaha, etc), stakes (micro, small, medium, large), and live or online.

I think we will learn something very interesting in this poll if enough of us respond seriously.

ok, I will go first.

Right now i am playing small stakes omaha online and the majority of my winnings is coming from SD hands.

I'm donking it up at $10NL I find most of my winnings are from non-showdown hands. I prefer it that way at these levels, I find if I end up to showdown, they've been chasing and have sucked out.

Did a filter in poker tracker for all cash game hands and
Showdown hands won 25k to 17k. (on just wins, Went to Showdown and Won vs Won without Showdown) This was a mix of Limit/NL and various table sizes.

Now at my current level(2000 hands so far) that I am almost exclusively playing, which is 6 max .25/.50 NL.
The numbers are 928 to 856 the same way as my overall numbers with Went to Showdown and Won higher.

At my higher level(Edit - 7000 hands), which was 6 max .50/1.00 NL.
The numbers are 2843 to 1031.

So It seems consistently more of my money is won when having a Showdown. Now does is that really a good thing ? I am not so sure.


(Just used PT Filters to get my results)

I play live and on-line NLHE. I haven't taken the time to do a query on PT but I would say the majority of my winnings on-line probably come from SD hands and the vast majority live definitely comes from SD hands. Stakes I play at range from $100NL to $200NL for both live and on-line.

In live 3/6 and 4/8 limit games, you don't win many hands without show down.

When in doubt, Check/call the river!
