Winrate Threads
 

A few regulars have expressed some frustration over the winrate threads....what does everyone else think?

Re: Winrate Threads
 

we need a sticky that says:

5-10NL: >3 good
>5 very good
10-20NL: >2 good
>3.5 very good

This sums up all win-rate questions. I don't see what else there is to gather from discussing it 50000 million times.

Re: Winrate Threads
 

I think they are helpful, but they can all go into brags beats and variance. Perfect form for them. Here they just clutter.

Re: Winrate Threads
 

They wouldnt be so painful if people just answered them straightforwardly. I don't see what the big deal is about someone saying "I made Xbbs at 5-10 over 100K hands." If 10-15 regulars simply responded along those line, we could reach a reasonable estimate of what a good winrate is and these threads would die quickly.

And it would be nice if someone defined LONGTERM in the sticky too. Some people think this is 50k, and have no concept of variance/std dev and confidence intervals. Putting the formula in the sticky would go a long way IMO.

What's wrong with winrate threads? I have always been extremely curious to learn how much others make.

[/ QUOTE ]I agree 100%. If you are annoyed by winrate threads, guess what, don't read them. A thread titled "Avg. Winrate of a full time 5-10 player?" isn't too hard to figure out it's going to be winrate discussion. This is similar if fsuplayer makes a thread, I know it'll be garbage so I can easily skip over it without reading it [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Winrate Threads
 

I agree also.
