Overview
WTSD stands for "Went to Showdown", measuring the percentage of hands that reach showdown after entering the pot. "from HJ" limits the statistic to hands played from the Hijack position. The Hijack is typically located after the UTG position and before the Cutoff (CO), making it a middle-to-late position.
Calculation
WTSD from HJ = (Number of hands entered from HJ that went to showdown) ÷ (Total number of hands entered from HJ) × 100%. The statistic includes all hands where the player voluntarily or involuntarily entered the pot from HJ (e.g., calling, raising, defending the blind, etc.).
Meaning and Interpretation
- High WTSD (e.g., >40%): Indicates a passive or sticky playing style from HJ, where the player tends to call down with marginal hands or is reluctant to fold. Often suggests overplaying hands with low showdown value (e.g., missed draws).
- Low WTSD (e.g., <25%): Indicates an aggressive playing style with a high fold rate from HJ, where the player mainly raises with strong hands and uses continuation bets to force folds, or folds weak hands quickly. May reflect a tight-aggressive style, but excessively low WTSD could also indicate excessive bluffing or giving up on profitable hands.
Positional Impact
The Hijack has a slightly weaker positional advantage compared to later positions (CO, BTN), but is stronger than early positions (UTG, UTG+1). Therefore, the expected WTSD from HJ should fall between that of early positions (typically lower due to tighter ranges) and late positions (typically higher due to wider ranges and positional advantage). Exact values depend on the player's overall strategy and opponent tendencies.
Notes
- WTSD is a composite statistic and should be interpreted alongside PFR (Preflop Raise), AF (Aggression Factor), and other data.
- A sufficiently large sample size (usually at least 1000 hands) is necessary for statistical significance.
- Normal ranges vary by game type (cash vs. tournaments) and stakes (low vs. high).
