Big difference if this is limit or NL...

Also, 2000 hands is laughable

I think 2000 hands HU is not as laughable as you might think. Usually if you have an edge on someone heads up, they need to run sick good to beat you for 1000+ hands..

If its a ring game, i agree 2000 hands is nothing..

You are semi-correct. HU against bad opponents has less variance. HU between competent opponents probably has the most variance of any game imaginable.

But 2k hands in any form of poker is going to be high variance simply because it isn't enough hands to evenly distribute similar strength hands in equal proportions (as in, Comp might get AA 15 times, while pro gets them 6). It's like flipping a coin 10 times.

Actually that makes a ton of sense, especially if the computer is essentially playing not to lose instead of playing to win. In which case it would be literal coin flips, because it would be pretty damn close to unexploitable. But you are right the smaller the edge, means much bigger variance, and probably especially headsup.


I stand corrected.
