...to the thread in which everyone posted their best hands in terms of BB/hand? Search function is useless.

Is there anyone at least who posted in that thread so I can search for it?

MrWookie47 · #3 10-02-2005, 03:52 PM

I posted in it. Most everyone did. Is there a reason you're looking for it in particular?

Thank you.
Yes I wanna see what peoples averages are with big pocket pairs because I'm kinda struggling with them.

Hems -

Low pocket pairs are some of the easiest hands to play. Set it or quit it. Very easy stuff. Just avoid the temptation to peel one off on a KJ7 flop with 44 and you'll be in the green with every pair.

Nah it's the big pocket pairs I have problems with.
50 hands with Queens -0.14 bb/hand !
JJ just .40

Emphasis mine. Your sample size is much too small to even begin to think about win rates for individual hands. You need tens or hundreds of thousands of hands of QQ for it to be remotely converged.

Really? That's daunting. I'm not very learned in statistics, and will defer to those who are, but always thought that while you need a minimum of 30 samples in most areas to be statistically significant, 100 samples would usually do. But, ten or hundreds of thousands??? Wow.
