does my SD/100 stat refer to one or 2 standard deviations?
For example: my SD/100 is 13. This means if it's 2SDs there's a 95% probability of my 100 hands netting me anywhere between -13 and +13 BB.
if it's only 1 SD, then there's a 66% prob of the same, and a 95% prob of me winning -26 to +26 BB in the same 100 hands.
If it's the latter, then i guess you need a sample of ~200k hands before it's at all reliable, right?
I'm asking on behalf of my noob brother, who is studying his SD.
