Default Re: How many hours to be X% sure you\'re up

My example:

Hands played: 18784
Hours played: 320.57
BB/hr: 2.50
Standard Deviation: 33.8161 (Is this high? I play mostly 400-600 NL)


So (SD/EV)^2 would be (33.8161/2.50)^2 = 182.964

Taking my hours played of 320.57, I'll go backwards and say 320.57/182.964 = 1.75 factor (putting me at around 62%)

Does this mean that over the next 18,784 hands I only have a 62% chance of winning? That's scary as that's 2 whole months!
