Let's break it down even further - let's say we want to look at our stats with AA. Well, in 10k hands you can expect to be dealt AA forty-five times. But we've already discussed that TEN THOUSAND hands is a poor sample - so forty-five is an almost worthless one!

To illustrate: let's say that the first 44 of these hands return a BB/hand of 5 (which is about normal for a decent player). At $10NL, this equates to $44. Then, you receive AA on hand 45. You have a big stack - say $20, thanks to previous good play - and so does the villain. he pushes pre-flop - yes! - and you call gleefully. But this time, his QQ hits a Q on the river and he takes you down.

I dont get this straight.
Please correct me.

You're saying that when you're dealt AA pf you'll have 5bb/100 in NL cash game winrate over AA hands ONLY?

... OR.. what seems logical to me , you'll have a 5 bb rate over all 10k hands ....

also 5bb/100 means you won 500bb/ 10k hands at 10nl where bb=10cents ----> 500x0.1= 50$

please excuse me if im wrong here, im a losing player over 90k hands played at micro limits
