Default Re: A plea to omgwtfnoway (re the variance thread blowup)

none of these formulas take into account the variance of variance. we've all seen people go absolutely crazy esp in heads up.

in a sit n go, you play other people. if you tilt, then your variance will increase. if they tilt, well you might see them again, you might not

cash games are different because your variance will increase if you tilt and if you tilt other people. a lot of players think lags have higher stand dev because they are hitting every edge and this is partly true. what's also true is that people get annoyed and do stupid stuff v lags and that too accounts for more variance
