$5-$10 Party Poker Players - Standard Deviation

[blubster]

Just wondering what people's standard deviation is who play $5-10 party games regularly and how it relates to BB/100.

Anyone care to post:

Standard deviation
BB/100
Number if Hands

Thanks

SD/100 hands = 16.4386 BB
BB/100 = 2.56
No. of hands = 9775

What a surprise - the one and only post is from someone who's running very well...

lol..

I played 5/10 for about 3 hours...got my ass handed to me.

Down about $300. Then I hit a huge pot and brought me back to even.

I changed my pants (the big pot was a scary hand with a nasty river) and went back to my happy 3/6 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Better luck to you...

Standard Deviation does not relate to BB/100. They are mathmatically unrelated.

Standard deviation: Too high
BB/100: Too small
Number of Hands: Enough to know.

Yeah, that's about spot on. STDEV and BB/100 are not related, incidentally.

I've never understood BB/100 anyway...I've always used BB/hr.

Would someone please explain BB/100. Is it how many Big Bets you win per 100 hands?

well some people play more tables than others, so it's a way of comparing apples to apples. of course, all that really matters is BB/hr. if someone makes 40 BB/hr playing 4 tables and another person makes 50 BB/hr playing 12 tables, the 4-tabler may boast a higher winrate but the 12-tabler makes more money

the reason BB/100 is popular is because it's the stat that PT displays on the general tab

I've joined the "don't play 5/10 full" bandwagon. 10/20 full (or so it seems) and 5/10 6-max are much softer
