Message: [QUOTE="istbno, post: 6764528, member: 128975"] You should take a closer look at the dispersion which refers to the statistical concept of variance or the degree of variability in a player's results over a certain period of time or number of hands. Dispersion essentially measures how much a player's actual results deviate from their expected results. Poker is a game of both skill and luck. The cards you receive in any given hand are influenced by chance, but your decisions and strategies over the long run can have a significant impact on your overall success. Dispersion quantifies the swings and fluctuations that players experience due to this combination of skill and luck. Dispersion is particularly pronounced in tournament poker, where even skilled players can experience a series of unprofitable tournaments due to the large field sizes and the fact that only a small percentage of players cash in each tournament.
