Default Re: Get serious about measuring your performance: Sharpe Ratio

Risk free rate doesn't matter here, as long as you use the same input for everyone. Sharpe alone doesn't make much sense only when compared to the population you are comparing to. If everyone uses 0 as an implied RF rate for this, the ratio can be used to determine who are the more volatile, less risky, etc players within the same winrate range. Two players can both be running at 10bb/100, but one may be much less risky. I also think this would be a good measure of if a player is 'running hot' or not.. the same two players one with a much lower Sharpe may have just won some big flips and gotten there.

I had always wished that Poker Tracker would incorporate standard deviation in their calcs. I don't think they have it there.
