Went to Showdown (WTSD) (WTSD)

Also known as: Went to Showdown, WTSD, W$SD

WTSD is the % of hands a player reaches showdown after seeing the flop. Read it with W$SD (% won at showdown): high WTSD + low W$SD is a calling station paying off too light.

WTSD (Went to Showdown) is the share of hands a player reaches showdown with, given that they saw the flop. It answers one question: once they continue past the flop, how often do they take a hand all the way?

It is read as a pair with its companion W$SD (Won money at Showdown) — the % of those showdowns they actually win. The two together classify a player instantly:

• High WTSD + low W$SD: they reach showdown too often with hands too weak — a calling station paying off light. Value-bet thin and bet big; never bluff them.
• Low WTSD + high W$SD: they fold a lot but show up with the goods. They are foldable on later streets — barrel them and respect it when they do call to the river.

Typical 6-max WTSD sits around 27–32%; far above that with a poor W$SD is a clear station leak. Pair WTSD with the Aggression Factor: a high-WTSD, low-AF player is the most profitable opponent in the game — they call down and never punish you.
