I used the calculator and entered all my sessions and my StDev/session is correct so Im going to assume my StDev/hr is correct also.

The maths is too hard for me to actually do it myself.

For starters, if spreadsheet/math isn't your forte, paste some/all of your session results into that calculator Garick linked and see if it spits out something like $462.

Reasonable actually. If your per session stdev is that low, the hourly stdev makes sense, guessing probably just under 4hr session average.

No idea how you can crush at 2-5 with that low stdev/hr. Villains massive weak/tight and average stack size low? Stumped.

I have no idea either. I just play how I play...but ever HH I post I get told that I suck....so read into that whatever you like.

Your spouse's income AND whatever rental income you have is less than $100/month? How is that possible?

No,

I was refering to the "incredibly small streams of income"

That's my guess.

Actually very easy to check. Just use your StDev per session divided by the square root of your average session length.

So if your StDev/session is 462 you would divide 462 by (sqrt of average session length). Our algebra gets us 462/(sqrtX)=261. This means that our average session length should be 1.77 squared, or 3.13 hours. If that is your correct average session length, your StDev as shown in your tracker is correct.

If not, you need to figure it yourself by finding your average session length, getting its square root, and dividing 462 by that.

I'd want a higher WR over past, say, 500 hours before moving up. The passivity of the 1-3 world is addictive tho....

As I'm sure you're aware, that would just be an estimate of his stdev/hour. Probably plenty good enough.

I'm already convinced by the low stdev/session and high WR that he's on a heater in bizarro world. (not hating Mike, just telling it like it is)

Once you have an emergency fund of 6 months of living expenses (20k), a proper 1/2 roll (10k), then you can start setting aside 3k or so to play 2/5. So you should have at least 33k before playing 2/5. If you follow these guidelines and make 5bbs an hr you won't go broke.

this is in my last 300 hours of 1/3

over lifetime(atleast since i started logging results in 2013) I've averaged about 18/hr across all stakes which is something like 40% 1/2 33% 1/3 25% 2/5 and 2% 5/T

I think an emergency fund of 20k whilst I have spousal and rental income is probably pretty insane.

my spousal/rental income covers our monthly nut with a small surplus so I can actually net $0 for months and not take any money out of bankroll.

20k is also almost a years worth a spending for us.

So adjust to a $10k emergency fund. I've also learned that if you aren't comfortable loosing the money then it isn't actually in your bankroll. Having a larger emergency fund than bankroll doesn't make losing half your bankroll as serious. When I lose I constantly worry about my net worth and my ability to pay future bills. With an emergency fund, and a hefty checking account, I worry a bit less.

Oh. Missed that, saw the 275 hr sample earlier.

I suppose if the game is soft enough, and you play a nut-peddling strategy, you could get fairly consistent hourly results and a low stdev/hr.

Interesting how your stdev is so slow when you were using overbetting as your counter examples of how there are more than one way to play poker.

You are running hotter than probably what you can fathom.

Everyone should be jelly, no different than being jelly of Powerball winners.

You would think, but he was citing examples of how he overbets TP and win, and how those examples show that there are more than one way to play poker.

@volumeking I 100% agree with you.

If you're being forced to constantly worry about paying future bills or even potentially going busto, you're not going to be able to play your A game, as you'll constantly pass up on +EV spots to reduce variance -- and the more you pass up on those opportunties, the less you'll be able to improve your game to constantly look for new edges to exploit, further hurting your WR

So IMO being able to withstand big swings without it effecting you psychologically is crucial.

VolumeKing is trying to troll me.

He can't tell the difference between "optimal" and "minimum" and believes both to be one of the same.

Having an optimal BR will obviously help someone to be more focused in maximizing EV spots and not worry about losing x amount of $.
