Those of you who think that Greenstein is the only one who says Sammy is a world class shorthanded PLO player need to do more research. It's been stated by several big names, sometimes without even using his name.

based off of what a 20k hand sample size tops

I think live players underestimate variance more than online players, and online players are just coming to grips with what is possible(think back 2years ago a 300bb limit downswing was unheard of, and considered impossible if playing well, nl swings underestimated as well)

that is with big samples, it could easily take 5yrs for a live pro to play 100k hands, and the standard deviation on a 100k hands is multiple ptbb/100

On a similar note, how many hands have been played by any individual over the seasons of HSP. Surely this sample size is not representative in the slightest and apparent results of who owns the table etc are swayed greatly by running good etc.

One thing you dont unnderstand is that there is much less variance in live play due to a much higher skill level involved. Most of u college squirts that do very well online would be fish in a live games.
