Default Huge loser SD question

I have a friend who started playing about 6 months ago and has know chance. He thinks he is unlucky. What are the best and worst case scenario's for these numbers?

130,000 hands
-1.40/100 BB's
SD 16.4

Thank You.

If his true winrate was 0 he'd be just outside the 3SDs of the mean. A breakeven player would have his results or worse about a 0.15% of the time. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
