Default Re: 10 Table NL 2000 on Party to reduce variance

[ QUOTE ]

Variance per time period(which the OP is referring to)-- DOES depend on how many hands you play at once. In fact, it INCREASES with the amount of hands you play at once. Should be self-evident...

You were doing well until you said this. Variance per time period DECREASES with more hands played/time period. Imagine if you were able to play 100,000 hands a day--you would have a pretty accurate reflection of your win-rate at the end of every session. However, if you only play 100 hands/day your results are all over the map. This is because every hand is reflection of your ability (i.e. win-rate) so the more samples you have the more accurate the result.
