5/10 SH coach needed - Page 3

Surfbullet · #21 11-05-2005, 02:01 PM

Hey DCW,

I sent you a pm about coaching - hopefully we'll get the session in tomorrow.

If you're satisfied I'm going to lock the thread for NC/preventing more winrate debates/handwaving. If you'd like to hear from more potential coaches(definitely understandable) i'll leave it up for awhile longer.

That might be the problem. What is that?

surf, do you happen to have the equation relating:

winrate, sd, hands played, confidence interval

handy?

wmp = windows media player. here you gotta answer each question one at a time:

can you watch regular videos online like in windows media player/quick time etc ?

can you watch random movies/video clips in the divx format ?

did you install the xvid mpeg 4 codec?

For someone with a SD of 17-18 it's entirely possible to go 100k hands with a 0.3 BB winrate and be a 1-2+ BB/100 winner.

I've put in over 100k hands of 5/10 and am somewhere around 0.3BB/100.

Have you EVER replied to a thread like this and not been a condescending jerk?

I'm sorry, but I have a low tolerance for stupidity, and many things from the original poster's post are far from intelligent.

If you don't like my replies, feel free to put in on "IGNORE". After all, I never have anything useful to say, right?

That's fine.

You demonstrate a lack of understanding when it comes to the true nature of variance in these games. A 1.5 BB/100 player could have this exact graph given an 18SD, and it would be within a 95% confidence interval. That very same player could run at 2.8 BB/100 over 100k hands. Additionally, to be 99% certain the range widens to the point where he could be nearly a 2BB/100 winner who is running bad.

Now none of this is certain and it's possible that 0.3BB/100 is his true winrate given his current playstyle. He could also be a significant loser that is running well. The point is WE CAN'T KNOW given his SD. Your implications are pointless and myopic.

I honestly hope you continue to run well, because you are in for a hell of a ride if you don't know what variance is truly like.

I wish I could, I can't put anyone on "ignore" because I have a responsibility to the forum to keep an eye on what is posted and make sure it is vulgarity/obscenity/flame- free.

You demonstrate a lack of sense of humour.

FWIW, I thought my first reply was pretty funny. Insensitive, yes. But funny. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

P.S. Since I know so little about the variance of this game, would like to take me up on a bet that his true winrate is *not* 1.5 BB/100, as you have indicated????
