*** Durrrr Challenge: Stage I; Patrik Antonius - IN RUNNING THREAD *** - Page 94 - Poker News

by the central limit theorem, the probability is approximately P(X>0), where X is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2*500 and standard deviation 60*sqrt(500). there are lots of tools (numerical integrators, statistics software) that can compute this for you.

i sort of understood every other word, but thank you for trying

pokerstar steve the stats mean that if durrrr has a 2bb edge on PA, and the standard variance(which i suppose you could say would be the luck/swingsof the match) was put as 60bb/100- then 77% of the time over 50 000 hands the person with the 2bb edge would win.

the other 23% the luck element or variance would mean that the better player lost

It has nothing to do with play. It has to do with the fact that Durrr isn't $430,000 in the hole now, so he's obviously a lot less of an underdog than he was before (if he's even an underdog now).
