WTSD is really hard to interpret. If you look at it closely, it will only give you the percentage with which a player is going all the way through showdown and you don't know whether he is really conservative, plays extremely tight, or just being aggressive. The problem with this is that you need to add other data (such as VPIP, aggression, stack size, pot size, etc.) to know about the specific player. However, if you calculate and use the street-by-street fold stats of a player, it will give you the chance to look at your opponent's folds at different stages of the hand, so you can maximize the money you can get out of him, for example, if you know he won't fold to a raise on the river.
