Interesting post, by the way.

lets say "Joe" plays $2-4 and has played 50k hands so far in pt. he makes .07 outside of the blinds (which is 77% of your total hands played). so he has made $10,780 outside the blinds. now from the bb he loses (.28) per hand. that means he lost $6440 from the bb and lets say he loses (.11) from the sb = $2530.

This is fine, but the unwritten assumption is that Joe plays in games that average just under 9 people per table. If he only every played on full tables (10 people), then he should be taking 80% of his hands outside the blinds - likewise for full 9-max games, he'd be taking 77.8% outside the blinds.

This makes quite a difference - especially for some of you guys posting your 6-max results. You're taking half as many hands outside the blinds as people playing full 10 player tables (4 vs 8). For the 6-max guys, your bb/hand outside the blinds should be much higher (probably not quite twice) and your losses in the blinds should be a bit smaller than someone with the same win rate playing only full tables.

I'm at work, so I don't have PT here to look through, but if there's a way to get the average number of players per hand, then that would help make comparisons more meaningful.
