KQ value?

[Peter-23]

All though this may seem to be a complaint I really have serious intent.

Over a sample size of about 35k hands on party.

I have had KQ (suited or not) 408 times.
I have had KJ (suited or not) 423 times.

Im ahead on KJ with 70BB
and behind on KQ with 50BB

Obviously KQ is a stronger hand so if the sample size would be much higher things would be reversed.

Now to my observation.

Always when someone place a question like this everyone cry out "blip sample size". This may be right but how big a sample size do I need to say anything about my game?

I mean if I need say 100k hands of say KQ to say anything about my game on that hand, then that must be true for any hand. If it’s true for any hand then I will need an overall sample size of millions of hands. Even when multi-tabling that will require multiple life times!

So, since it’s not realistically possible to accumulate enough hands then hand level analysis must be useless, right? (Actually played hands I mean).

My conclusion is that if all above is true then hand analysis on hand level can only be done theoretically! Making player related hand analysis virtually useless!


What do you say?
