WTSD — Poker Stat Definition & How to Read It
Also known as Went to Showdown
Here's a clear definition with real-hand context, plus how it connects to the rest of your strategy.
WTSD (Went to Showdown) — % of pots a player sees showdown after the flop.
In more detail
Benchmark bands (guideline ranges from winning-player norms for 6-max online micro-stakes cash — the same bands our leak report uses; not solver output): below 22% = giving up on too many pots after the flop · 22–30% = healthy · above 30% = calling down too loosely, the calling-station signature. Always read WTSD next to W$SD (won money at showdown, guideline band 48–56%): high WTSD with low W$SD means paying off value bets; very low WTSD with a sky-high W$SD means only getting there with the nuts and over-folding everywhere else.
