Great lesson! How do you estimate SD at 13:30?
Glad you liked it. There I just chose a standard deviation. You can look up what yours is in HEM/PT and substitute the appropriate number.
Cool! I didn't know it was possible. Mine is 40 (in MTTs) :)
Do you play full ring? That seems really low for 6max...
Yeah, I play mostly Full ring MTTs. Do you know why 6 max SD is lower? I thought it would be the opposite, since we have more multiway (and bigger) pots on full ring, which should mean more variance.
But maybe the fact that MTT are played mostly short stacked also contributed for this low SD.
6max SD is much higher than full ring. You VPIP much more often in 6max and stacks go in more often.
You're probably also right that MTTs have lower bb/100 variance because stacks are so much shorter.
Wow, great video. I'm reading a book about math on cash games, suggested by Apotheosis, but i didn't know that there is a site that make these simulation for tournaments, thanks a lot!
