Won Money at Showdown (W$SD)
Won money at showdown, written W$SD, is a statistic that shows how often a player wins the pot when he goes to showdown. A value above 50 percent means that he usually wins when he gets there.
The simple explanation
The number comes from tracking software. It counts the hands that reached a showdown and how many of them you won. If you reach a showdown 100 times and win 55, your W$SD is 55 percent.
A closer look
W$SD is read together with went to showdown (WTSD). A tight player who reaches few showdowns may have a high W$SD, because he only goes when he is strong. A player who calls a lot has a lower value. A good W$SD alone is not a sign of a winning player: you can win at showdown but fold too much before it. Use the stat with a large sample, and compare it with typical values, which are around 50 to 55 percent in many games.
A practical example
A tracker shows that a player won 54 out of 100 showdowns. His W$SD is 54 percent.
