Standard deviation

How does one go about figuring SD? Is it just listed on PT? I haven't seen it. And I guess lower is always better? What is a reasonable figure?
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!

It is listed on the "Sesssions" tab under "More detail...". I don't think I have ever heard anyone suggest that a specific number is or isn't reasonable. Most players seem to have a SD between 15-20 BB/100. The number itself isn't really that interesting but combined with your measured win-rate it can be used to calculate a confidence interval for the win-rate.
