Default Re: \"loose\" play and variance

You seem really coy about how long you've been making 16 BB/hr :-)

Measuring a changing figure over a long period of time is quite easy. Its called an average. Sure it may fluctuate a lot, but that is easy to measure too. Its called variance. In B&M games I know my average is 10BB/hr over a period of many many years, so I'm happy that that is probably a fair reflection of my quality of play for that time. If i start making more I know that I am (a) playing better vis a vis the competition or (b) rushing. Its nice to know.

Also I think that the tighter player having higher variance may be true in NLHE, but bollox in PLO, even more so as the game gets looser and looser. But of course his win rate is less.
