I'm the same player, how do I run so good in one 17,000 hand stretch and run so bad in another 13,000 hand stretch?

Duh, because 15/30 is soooooooooooooooooooooo much harder than 10/20 shorthanded. You must be underbankrolled. Rookie.

Don't make me steal your pride just like how I stole that 15/30 fish Bicyclekick's pride in a HU match.

It just seems counter intuitive that 10k , 20k or 50k hands are not enough to determine &lt;insert poker question here&gt; when very, very, small sample sizes are used to determine very important issues, including ones that are even more complicated than poker (e.g. medical and drug tests on human beings).

Unfortunately this is crazytalk.
Even if we assumed that the same definition of the word 'sample' properly applied to both statistics and biological matter, then the 'sample size' of a blood test would indeed be enormous.
Tests quantify the amount or concentration of tiny molecules in a quantitity of blood that is gigantic in comparison.

For example, after fasting, in one deciliter (10th of a Liter, 100 ml) of normal blood, ~70-110mg of glucose would be found.

That's at least 2.34 x 10^20 glucose molecules.
that's 2 340 000 000 000 000 000 000 molecules.

I was thinking more along the lines of human clinical trials of new drugs where human participants are the "sample", not blood itself.

You need to focus on winning more at the showdown at 15/30. You only won slightly over 50% at 15/20 compared to over 55% at 10/20. This should be your focal point of your game. Do you see why?

I can't even tell if you replied to me, or if you think using white text is overused. I am so easily confused.

Indeed then, thank you for clarifying, I thought you were crazy.

still disagree though. hundreds of millions of dollars on enough patients to determine the minimum effective doses and relevant toxicities
