I'm trying to come up with a better way of deciding whether I want to risk playing at a level outside my br.
Specifically, say that a player thinks that he will be somewhere in the range of -2 to +2 bb per/100 hands (which I assume would include most of us). Now figure he has a br of 100 or 150 bb. I'd like to know what is the likelihood that after 1,000 hands, or perhaps 2,500 hands, he will have:
-lost half his br
-lost 3/4 of his br
-lost his entire br
For purposes of this question, assume that the player is not unusually tight/passive/aggressive/loose, so that his standard deviation is "average."
When answering, please keep in mind that I am a total math IDIOT.
