If sample is the same, two good players should have same hourly regardless of session length.
Explain to me how 1 10 hour session would differ from 2 5 hour session AT ALL?
If what you say is true you should just take lots of breaks or constantly change tables/casinos since you'll magically win more money that way.
yea...IF you exclude those two largely contributing factors lol. also if you exclude that playing longer sessions means you're playing outside of the optimal hours. someone who plays full time isn't taking 4 or 5 days a week off so he can just play when he's making 20bb/hr. he has to play on the days where he's only making 3bb/hr as well, otherwise he isn't netting enough profit on a weekly basis.
take these two samples for example:
Sample 1 -
Total Hours = 40
Average session = 8 hours
Total sessions = 5
Days Played = Wed-Sun
Sample 2 -
Total Hours = 40
Average Session = 4 hours
Total Sessions = 10
Days Played = Friday/Saturday
They both have the same total hours, but obviously the second example will show a higher winrate. probably even higher overall profit, but it would take him 5x as long to make it.
Obviously this won't hold true for everyone. Some people may play 4 hours a day, everyday. It's just a generalization for samples with short average sessions.
