Default Re: A question for those who know more about stats or poker than me

The ratio of your sample sizes to one another means nothing from a theoretical viewpoint, unless you are able to specify a relationship between the two groups you are considering (for example 109 speeds vs. regulars). The question is only whether each sample size is large enough, and you already know that at least 2 out of 3 are way to small to draw any conclusion at all. So I would advice against searching for any statistical theoretical answers.

From a practical/poker point of view, I would not let a very slight increase in hourly rate determine whether I should play speeds or regulars, I would simply play the one I thought were most fun/enjoyable/relaxing/g00t, at least when both seem to be working out very well for you. Also, I doubt you could improve your hourly rate very much if you are able to crank out 7,5% ROI at the speeds + bonii and other*.

In any case, congratulations on your solid results, do I detect a slight hint of a brag post? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
