I don't know if this will help you any and I'm not professing to be an expert, but you might find this interesting... these are some of my stats last night from the Stars 20 table $20+2 where I finished 12th (at one point when we were down to 2 tables I was 7th in chips):

------------------------------------------
You finished in 12th place (eliminated at hand #2994510596).

186 hands played and saw flop:
- 3 times out of 25 while in small blind (12%)
- 7 times out of 23 while in big blind (30%)
- 16 times out of 138 in other positions (11%)
- a total of 26 times out of 186 (13%)

Pots won at showdown - 7 out of 11 (63%)
Pots won without showdown - 20
-------------------------------------------

What I found interesting is that I played extremely tight (saw only 13% of all flops), but you'll see I won 20 pots w/o a showdown and 7 of 11 showdowns. So, as you can see I didn't get involved in many pots, but when I did I aggressively went after them and/or made sure I had a hand that would hold up at showdown.
