(Regular cash game, not fast fold.) I filtered for number of players and removed all players with less than 1000 hands. I just went through my database with a couple of million cash game hands to get some detailed numbers about the standard deviation of all players in the database. More aggressive players tend to have much higher SD/100 than super tight players. Standard Deviation heavily depends on your play style. Should you have any questions, encounter any errors or have ideas for improvements, please let me know. In general, these simulations underestimate the extent of downswings, but the numbers should still give you a decent idea of the vastness of downswings you should expect. Meaning, that by this definition a downswing is not over until the player has fully recovered its losses. For the purpose of these calculations, a downswing is defined as any period where the current total winnings are below the maximum previous total winnings. For example (50000+ Hands – 15.81%) means the simulated player was in a downswing over at least 50,000 hands 15.81 percent of the time. The second table shows how long downswings last on average. For example (1000+ BB – 31.77%) means the player was in the middle of a downswing of at least 1,000 big blinds 31.77 percent of the time. It shows how often the simulated player was stuck in a downswing of at least X big blinds. The first table shows the extent of downswing. Therefore 100 million hands are simulated and all downswings over this simulation are tracked. The last section of the Variance Calculator sheds some more light on potential downswings.
In this example, the simulated player ended up with winnings over 25,000 big blinds after 2.5 million hands but had to deal with a nasty downswing of almost 10,000 big blinds between hand 1.2 million and hand 2 million. While the sample winnings have their scale on the right axis, the downswing tracker has its scale on the left axis. The red area shows for any given point, how much the sample is currently away from its previous peak, meaning it tracks downswings. You can choose how many hands to simulate by moving the slider.Īpart from showing a single sample, this graph also shows some insightful information about downswings. This chart simulates a single run over 100 thousand up to 10 million hands with the win rate and standard deviation entered above. Minimum bankroll for less than 5% risk of ruin: the bankroll needed to have a risk of ruin of less than 5%.Probability of running below observed win rate …: Same as above – probability that you will experience a run below the observed win rate over the number of hands.Probability of running at or above observed win rate …: If you entered an observed win rate, this number will show you the probability that you will experience a run at or above this win rate over the number of hands.
Probability of loss after X hands: probability that you will experience negative winnings (meaning: losses) over the number of hands.Meaning: 19 out of 20 times your actual winnings will be within this interval. 95% confidence interval: Same as the above with 95% certainty.The first interval shows absolute numbers and the second translates those into BB/100, showing the 70% confidence interval for your win rate. 70% confidence interval: Your actual results over the simulated amount of hands will be within this interval 70% of the time.The first number shows the absolute value and the second translates this number into BB/100, showing the impact on your win rate. Standard deviation after X hands: This number shows how much your actual results will differ from the expected results on average.Expected winnings: estimated winnings over the simulated amount of hands.Standard deviation: standard deviation entered above.Variance in numbersīelow the first chart the Variance Calculator compiles a neat list of additional information:
They basically show, how much variance you should expect to see. What you need to know about them is that at any given time your winnings will be within these intervals with a probability of 70% and 95% respectively. Thirdly the calculator displays the 70% and 95% confidence intervals as light and dark green curves. This number will appear as a rather boring straight and black line in the graph. It’ll also calculate the expected winnings over the number of hands. The first thing the Variance Calculator does is to run 20 samples over the number of hands, win rate and standard deviation specified.
