I have some questions for anyone who wishes to respond. I have a hard time understanding standard deviation. Can someone please explain it for me in laymans terms. I think it means my fluctuation from one hour to the next. However I am not certain. I read Gambling Theory and Other topics, and I still have a hard time understanding standard deviation. Does it mean short term luck?
I just started playing $10-$20 and I have 12.50 total hours,my win rate is 36.24 an hour, my confidence is 14.11% and my std deviation is $99.39 an hour. I gathered this information with the use of Stat King.
The advisor points out that I have a low standard deviation. I just started playing at this limit, so I play much tighter than usual. I have played premium hands only and one night the deck seemed to hit me in the face. What kind of swings will I see? The advisor says fluctuations of up to 298. Does this mean I could lose or win 298 in an hour?
Thank you in advance for answering
