Message: [QUOTE="duggs, post: 2500690, member: 82847"] well like anything it depends how robust you want those results you draw to be, this isn't unique to poker, it applies to all fields that draw from statistical probability theorems. yea and i mean thats typically why people separate different stakes, as your higher stakes losing masks winning at lower stakes, i can imagine a similar thing happens online as your edge in smaller stakes will be higher. but yea sample size matters, 155 isn't close to meaningful in something as volatile as live tournaments (i don't know the average field size, but larger the field sizes and top heavy payouts tremendously amplify variance) but back to my main point throughout this thread, you can't just ignore the fact you are comparing stakes which are 30 times smaller for online. if live were truly not as soft as online then you would have the same ROI in 1k online tourneys, and i would be a winner at 200nl and up [/QUOTE]
