Hey "SFB"..(not "SkipperF'ngBob; but "CacaForBrains")...It's been a long time since I went to school, or had to actually work, but the "Nice Chart" displays the chance (expressed as a %) that your next game will be the "start" of a given OOTM streak.

Saying that your next game will be the start of an 0for13 streak is alot different than saying that a 40% ITM'er will have a 0for13 streak "somewhere" in a set of 200 SNG's.

Take your own experience DaliDude; you probably have 2 or 3 0for13 streaks in any set of 500 [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well, I'm a lot closer to 38% than 40%, and in 5000+ SNG's, it has happened once, (14 in a row), my next worst is 11. And saying it will start at the beginning is the exact same thing, near as I can tell. Kinda like saying what are the chances of getting AA the next hand, right after having AA; It's still 220-1.
