Default Nitpicking and Wondering

Nitpicking: You left out a constant in your 95% confidence interval arithmetic. Should be:

95% CI = 8.5 +/- 1.96*(18.6/sqrt(70))

I got the std. dev. numbers from the sessions tab in PT. It seems like everyone in the small stakes forum thinks 14-15BB/100 is a good normal standard deviation, though I suppose if I'm running well and/or at a higher average BB/100 rate it will be higher.

That would be excellent. 17 times the win rate in bb/100 is good.

Wondering: are you saying here that 14-15 BB/100 is excellent and that anything <17xWR is good? Or is that greater than?

Reasons I'm asking:

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] The same players reporting SD ~15 BB/100 are also reporting WR ~3BB/100. Well, I assume they are the same or similar players-- here are some links:

SS SD

SS WR

!Edit: hard to tell what the actual average is. Probably between 2 and 3 BB/100.

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Although I'd like a low SD and high WR, a lower than normal SD seems correlated with running bad. See pzhon's post here.
