WTSD

also called went to showdown

WTSD is the share of hands a player carries through to a showdown once they have seen a flop, written as a percentage.

It measures how willing somebody is to be shown wrong. A high figure means they call down often, so bluffing them is expensive and thin value bets get paid, and a low one means they can be pushed off hands.

The number is only useful alongside how often they win when they get there. Reaching a lot of showdowns and winning most of them is a tight player, and reaching a lot and winning few is the opposite.

an example

your cards

board

A pair of nines on this river beats every missed draw and loses to every king. Against an opponent who reaches showdowns often, the call is easy, and against one who almost never does, the same pair is a fold.

This example is made up. The real one is in your own hand history: find wtsd in your own hands and see how often it came up and what it cost you.
