What's *your* Standard Deviation?

[Grisgra]

Thinking of an idea for that there TwoPlusTwo magazine, this is a natural starting point. Please post comments re whether you think certain games have a naturally higher SD (e.g., 10/20 games, perhaps?)

[Grisgra]

Wow. Who in the hell has an SD less than 13BB/100???!!!

Do you play ultra-tight pf? What's your BB/100 winnings over how many hands?

[fyodor]

When you say 13 or less I assume you mean 13.99 or less so that the following would be 14-14.99 etc.

[Grisgra]

No, 13 or less is really 13.5 or less, I wanted people to just round to the nearest whole number.

Don't know what the gist of your intended article is but this poll is not going to give you much accurate info without knowing the game each player is playing (full, shorthanded, level) or the number of games their stats are based on. Is that one LAG based on 5k or 50k for instance?

You're right of course, but SD does settle down pretty quickly. Much quicker than win rate, for sure!

This is posted in the SH forum, so I hope I'm getting SH SDs!

Posted the same poll in the small stakes forum and the microlimits forum.

I want to know who the hell is running at 23BB/100+! Youch.

A little *bump* for the evening visitors . . .

Mine's very different depending on the game
1/2 - 19BB/100
5/10 - 15BB/100
