      • Poker Room Player Stats

        Most online cardrooms offer every player a wealth of statistical information so they may analyse their own play. There is plenty of useful information to be found once you have spent a significant enough amount of time playing on one site

        General Statistics

        % Games Won
        % Showdowns Won
        % Flops Seen
        Win % Flops Seen

        The general statistics provide an overview of how often you are winning, how you've fared in the showdowns played, how often you are seeing a flop aswell as how many of those flops you won. These details provide you with an insight into how successful you have been and also the type of playing style being used. A high pecentage for games won, showdowns won and win % of flops seen combined with a low percentage for % of flops seen indicates a tight playing style, whereas a high percentage for games won, flops seen and win % of flops seen combined with a low percentage for showdowns won implies a looser and more aggressive style of play.

        Your Actions

        Fold
        Check
        Call
        Bet
        Raise
        Reraise

        Your actions provide an accurate picture of the style of poker player being employed; if you fold a huge percentage of the time then you are playing tight, if you mainly check and call then that's considered to be passive play, if the stats show you prefer to bet and raise then you are being aggressive. This information can be an eye opener for players who thought they were aggressive but subsequently realise they were being too passive, or vica versa.

        Where You Fold

        Pre Flop
        Flop
        Turn
        River
        No Fold

        This section can help identify leaks in your game when combined with the other statistical information, it may uncover that you are unecessarily calling too many flop bets only to fold on the turn, or even folding on the river too much which could mean you are chasing your draws too frequently.

        These sets of statistics may not be as revealing as the information provided by other 3rd party software, but they are free and available on most major poker sites, it's advisable to use them in order to understand and improve the way you play.
