EV question

[squeeks]

sonny told me a spread with a ev of 2.56 and I thought that this meant 2.56 units per hour but my results so far are much higher than that.

Not per hour, per 100 hands. And PS - ITS RANDOM!! zg

I also said that the SD was about 53 units per 100 hands. That means your results will be 53 units above or below that 68% of the time, and 106 units above/below that about 95% of the time. It wouldn’t be unusual at all for your results to be much higher than your EV in the short term. Just be prepared for when things shoot 106 units below your EV.
