Default Our PS winrates

Specifically comparing 3/6 to 5/10. I myself have certainly run well at 3/6 getting 2bb/100. But am running -1.5bb/100 over a smaller sample size at 5/10. While I can tell the competition is somewhat stronger at 5/10 I can not help but feel that I am only a marginal winner there who got some bad beats in the massive pots. Any other thoughts? Im beginning to think I should just stay at 3/6 for my mental health at least. Do other people here have strong sustained success at 5/10? I play a 24/17 style for what its worth, varying based on the table between 22/16 and 27/20.

people say: play 10k hands than post you stats her for review

You need 30,000 hands at a level before knowing your general winrate, and 100,000 hands at a level before knowing your specific winrate.

Such a crock.

Assume 18BB/100 standard deviation, which I understand is normal if you work it out right. Then over a 100,000 hand sample your standard error is
18/sqrt(1000) = 0.57

so with 95% confidence you know your winrate to within plus/minus 1.14BB/100

That is not particularly specific.

I've said this before and I will say it again. You will never, never know your winrate. Just spend the money.

Guy.

good post 30K, 60K, 100K none of these i would consider long term. When you run good or bad it's very hard to get an idea over what should be considered running average.

Guess it depends on what you mean by specific.

BTW - if your winrate is 3BB/100 after 100,000 hands, your equation means that your true winrate is 2.43BB to 3.57BB. (Not 1.86BB to 4.14BB).

To me, that's pretty specific.

[/ QUOTE ]In the past, I've found the psychological difference between 3/6 and 5/10 pretty daunting - is it possible that at 5/10 it is more difficult for you to see the chips as merely betting units?

My winrate at 5/10 is about 1 over 60k hands. It was 2.2 over 35k. If I always played my best I'm pretty sure I could be at 2.5 or so. It is amazing how many pretty large mistakes I make because I'm either not focusing or because I'm tilting. I forget preflop action a couple times per 1k hands and end up donking AJ on like Q42 into a 3-bettor, or I 3-bet bluff the river or something. Really big mistakes, yet I'm still at 1.
