Default Re: question about standard deviation

Standard deviation means deviation from the "mean". If you aren't a breakeven player, then your mean isn't breaking even, so being "exactly where you started" isn't a sign of low standard deviation.

As a clarifying example, if you won exactly $50 every hour that you played poker, then your standard deviation would be zero.
