100... seen people come to the table with 400 leave with 40k datamining revealed that they lost almost all with in one weeks time... but that's why we can make money the swings fish get.

I guess I shouldn't be answering. If I were to answer, I'd probably say,"I have no clue,fim." [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

no. I've seen a 20k stack at 10/20 which then turned into a 40k stack at 50/100 off minbuyin at 10/20 which is $400

you know the answer already, or you should know it

any player no matter how bad or how good can experience a 1 million buyin winning streak

it's all about confidence intervals

come on guys, don't be nits here. we're talking about buying into a 100BB game for a full stack and not changing levels. if you need a confidence interval, use 99%.

Someone did a post a while ago about this with screenshots of his spreadsheet. Basically it had tables of winrate, SD and number of hands and provided the confidence interval that your actual winrate > 0. The definitive answer is in there...anyone have the link?

Well I witnessed a complete lunatic, who also called off all his chips when MILES behind and catch, go from 400 to 4k on a table I was sitting at.

It wasnt super smart LAG play, it was just plan manaicy - so its more than 10 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
