Your variance (pokertracker stats) - Page 3

lol, my headsup deviation is 100/bb100

i have no clue.. hoping someone will clear that up.

too lazy to hit space that many times lol

standard deviation, its a measure of statistical dispersion.

1. NL10 FR
2. 77k hands
3. 88.74 big bets/100

so in order to have a huge winrate you have to have higher variance? Why did someone say earlier in the thread that its better than have a low number?

and obviously if you have a huge winrate you're pushing smaller edges to squeeze out that winrate so you're gonna have a bigger amount of short term variance (100 hands)

This statistic seems useless at best to me because it doesn't really tell you anything

1) 3/6 up to 50/100
2) 150k
3) 67bb/100

1) NL 200 - NL 400
2) 132K hands
3) 84 bb/100 std dev

1) PLO 25, 50, 100
2) 157k hands
3) 55bb/100

I'm surprised I would have thought it would be higher.

1) 400-1000nl 70% FR, 30% 6m
2) 240k hands
3) 43.6021 big bets / 100.

wish i knew what that meant.

1) 5/10 and 10/20 (90% 6max, 10% fullring)
2) 102k
3) 39 bb/100

1. NL25 - NL200
2. 273k
3. 38BB/10

It shows you how tight you're playing, the tighter you play the lower your variance (i'm assuming). Also you can more or less infer the level of competition from this number. If you play a generally tight game but your variance is high it might mean you're sitting in a tough game. (Once again I'm just assuming this, using my shitty logic, which could be wrong). But if it's right I think it's pretty interesting and not at all useless.

nl100-600
300k+
~30bb/100

95988 hands
1/2 and some 2/4 6 max
48.6BB/100

nut peddling nits.....

You probably won't achieve a high winrate on higher stakes without having a high standard deviation, but for a given winrate, the smaller the deviation is, the better.

That's only true to a certain extent. For example in the sample I posted, my SD was only at 31.1 for nl100, but I was playing a rather LAG style (at least for FR that is - stats around 19/15). I guess the level of competition plays a bigger role.

fucking lucksacks lol
