Default Pre-fold flop % vs. win %

I hope this doesn't confuse anyone

I was going over my pre-flop folding percentages and my win percentages this weekend and came up with a question.

My pre-flop folds are generally between 70 and 80 percent, we'll say 75% for this discussion. My win percentages are somewhere a little above 8% of all hands dealt to me. That means that when I see a flop, I can expect to win that hand about 33% of the time.

My first question. I think I should expect to win 10% of all hands dealt at a 10 seat table. Is 8% too little? If I lose that extra 2% at a rate of, say, $1 per hand, and I'm playing 50 hands per hour, that's $1 an hour I'm losing--after 100 or even 1000 hours that can really add up.

My other question is this--is winning 33% of post-flop hands okay? it seems low to me. I'm wondering if anyone else has done these calculations, and if so, what they are/what they should be for an average winning player.

Thanks

No 8 % is fine.

Just keep it tight and you don't need to win 10% of hands dealt to win money.

People will suckout on you and you have to keep that in mind. Ever lost AA against 27o? If you haven't, wait until this happens.
