Re: Standard Deviation/Win Rate
RJT, following the pattern in my post, you can do the calculations yourself for any win/100, SD/100 and number of hands played per year that you want to assume. Then you can see how likely a two-year losing steak is in any given scenario.
Remember that Mason's article was written in the context of B&M players. If a winning player is multitabling online and playing 8 hours/day, then of course a two-year losing streak is MUCH less likely than in the scenario I presented.
