Expected results and comparing two players
The odds we calculate in poker are all based on the expected outcome. Expected outcome is of course theoretical and therefore results over smaller sample sizes can be skewed. Now, as all the pros would say that everyone eventually gets the same cards, or that the cards even themselves out. This raises two questions:
1) How many hands (sample size) must someone play to start seeing close to calculated odds? 2) Is that number of hands different than the number of hands it takes for all the cards to "even out", aka number of hands that results(net profit) of two players can be compared? |

Well maybe for the second question but wouldn't the answer to the first question be a couple thousand hands? I don't know for sure thats why I'm asking.

hundreds of thousands. [/ QUOTE ]I would think so too, considering equity is derived from millions of hands. |
