I'm sure that is what moo meant.
In other words risk would be the same with $20K but you'd have to double your dollar unit to double the win rate to $100/hr.
Or, you could keep your $unit the same as you would have had with $10K and just play with a much lower risk with a $20K roll while still making the $50/hr.
Or you could double your dollar unit with just $10K and still make $100/hr. But with much higher risk of ruin.
My point being don't just focus on win rate. Understand the risk too.
I'm just speculating here but I'd guess the really good, real-life guys here like Sonny, RJT, others, probably consider risk first, last and always and let EV fall where it will to have that risk. And that that risk is pretty darn low, or I mean lower than what alot might think is "acceptable".
So, if Sonny posted a $20 win rate here, I'd guess it's with a risk of less than 2%. Probably 1% or less. (I really have no idea - don't mean to put you on any "spot" Sonny) I'd guess, when playing different games. or same game at differing pen levels, he uses a spread that will maintain a constant risk he is comfortable with to his roll. And likely spends some time figuring out how much roll to take on a trip lasting 8-50 hours duration to keep his risk on that trip where he wants it to be.
I'd be absolutely shocked if they played at a 4% or more risk.
If someone else posts $20 win rate here, who knows what risk is associated with it?
I'd much rather know what lifetime risks people here play at, or think they are playing at, or what they think would be an "acceptable" risk, than what their win rate is.
Somebody do a poll on that lol.
