Yeah, there's been talks of "luck-o-meter's" before also. Maybe not the most useful thing in the world, but it would be nice to know if you're running hot or cold on your matchups.


Of course there's a lot more "luck" than that. There's a lot of components that you can't control that could all fall under "luck", like if you run into AA on the bubble every game for the rest of your life, etc.

This is why I think a luck-o-meter will never be very useful. When you are running hot or cold it has to do with A LOT more than just 1 coinflip that you may have won/lost. The luck (or variance) of the cards dealt throughout the course of the tournament comes into play.

Obviously winning coinflips is all "luck" in the short-term and when you are winning those you seem to be on hot streaks. But getting dealt AA-QQ 10x in one tourney would be "luck" but wouldn't factor into the program. (Unless of course the luck-o-meter actually analyzed what cards you were dealt throughout the sng and checked for an average distribution. Or as even as you can get through 40-60 hands.)

Do you have eastbay's program? There is a 169x169 EV chart (in notepad) distributed with the program.

Well there you have it... So it sounds like were within inches of a Luck-o-Meter. Let the Bad Luck posts begin.
