Towards a Skill Ratio : is it a joke ?

[Jetto2]

Hello Mr Ryne A. Sherman

This title of this is a little too much a provocation, but I hope to get the answer "No it is really serious" (maybe not the better thing for a first post).

You imagine the dream it is for all player to know the partition form skill and luck in there poker result. So even if I am band new poker player I'm very interested to know.

I carefully read your two article, I also try to speak on this on French poker forum but I only get bad feed back. I wish it is +EV to post here.

My skill in mathematics is poor even I have university grad, but try to redo the computation in the fist part of the May article.

I think a little and I haven't be convince that doing that kind of random autocorrelation would give interesting result.

I quickly try to check the correlation as you say (randomly split the series in two and compute the Pearson r correlation) of a normal then a with uniform distribution. The result look like to be quite the same in the both case (I use a little Rprogram for this).

Can you tell me where is my mistake and how to redo you calculation ?

Thank you
