Re: Standard Deviation... Does anyone really know they\'re a winner?

Standard Deviation... Does anyone really know they\'re a winner?

After 31 139 hands and two months of playing one limit I'm up 449BB. If having 300BB at a certain limit is supposed to effectively eliminate your risk of ruin why does winning 449 BB @ 1.38 BB/100...

Re: Maytag... Buying stocks for the first time.

I know it's not the only one... The company is showing growth and it appears to be strong. If the P/E ratio were 50 then I would say "well the market has probably already realized it's growth...

Re: Maytag... Buying stocks for the first time.

P.S. Had I not listened to the forum and gone with my original gut feeling I would had a 30% return in four days. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif So what's wrong with the banana stock?

Re: Maytag... Buying stocks for the first time.

I just want to use money from my neteller account to buy the stocks... How do you get money to the online trading companies when you want to buy a stock?

Maytag... Buying stocks for the first time.

This stock has been tanking lately so I figure it would be a good place to learn a quick lesson in putting all my eggs in one basket. What do you educated people think about Maytag right now?

Re: What the heck is going on?

I don't really have a way of knowing what game is good and what isn't... Game selection kind of becomes impossible with 8 tables. What about these people who claim to be 8 tabling $15/30?

Re: What the heck is going on?

Well, I guess I see what the problem is then!

I have essentially been autoplaying 8 tables of $2/4 with absolutely no table selection and no player reads... Is this type of play even possible at...

What the heck is going on?

Using mostly Small Stakes Hold'em I built my bankroll up to just over $4,000 climbing up from $.50/$1 to $2/4. About a week ago I decide to make the jump to $3/6 and steadily have lost 200 BB over...

Re: I wrote a free spread excel sheet.

Can you explain how I find what I'm looking for using this? Am I really being that unclear with my question?

I'll simplify the numbers... an equation is really all I'm looking for.

Re: Standardly Deviating

I can? How? I don't want a confidence interval, I want to know how many hands on average I'm going to play before I take a swan dive and lose 300 BB.

I'm kind of dumb. Can someone show me some sort of equation that will tell me how often (every x number of hands) I should expect to encounter a downswing of 100 BB, 200 BB, etc... Standard deviation...

That's almost exactly what I was looking for... His breakdown was very helpful and made perfect sense, it's just too bad Bison doesn't play $5-10 or greater 6 Max. I shouldn't have a lot of trouble...
