821 hands is too small of a sample size for drawing any conclusions and you know it!

Lets assume your number of games won is 8% thus higher than his 6%. Then you would have won 0.08*821 ~ 65 hands. Probably less than half of those would go to a showdown?

Does 30 showdowns sound like a good sample size?

As for myself, after 120k hands my win% at SD is 56.18%.

In poker you will be in a lot of situations where calling a river bet is correct even when you give yourself way less than 50% chance to win due to pot odds. I find it hard to believe that a solid player could keep a win % at showdown of 80% in the long term.
OK OK so I'm too cheap to buy PokerTracker, and your probably right about 821 being too small a sample size heh
