Winning?

It doesn't mean he's MUCH more likely to be anything.

95% confidence interval over 10k hands spans about 28bb

It doesn't mean he's MUCH more likely to be anything. 40.6% chance he's a winner.

The sample mean is positive. How can the % chance the true mean is positive be less than 50%?

x = (4.8 +/- 28) bb/100 :: (-23.2 < x < 32.8) bb/100

This contains more positive values than negative values, so what am I missing?

how did you come up with the formula mojo what do the numbers represent?

The numbers represent what your possible winrate is at 95% confidence, it's really hard to tell your true winrate over ANY sample, let alone one this small. I mean for example over 100k hands at 4.8bb/100 with std deviation 90bb/100 you can be 95% confident your winrate falls between 5.19bb/100 and -0.39bb/100 so even with this winrate over 100k hands you can't REALLY know you are a winner.

FYI: It takes about 200k hands at 90bb/100 std deviation to estimate your winrate with 95% confidence to + or - 2bb/100.

edit: It's supposed to be 10.38bb/100 and -.78bb/100(or read as BB/100 ). My bad! I was in a rush when I made this post, the 2nd part is still correct though.

I meant 40.6% confidence his winrate falls from 0-9.6bb/100 which is obviously pretty useless so I erased it from my post .
