Beyond Chance? The Persistence of Performance in Online Poker
Fig 2
Difference in Win Rate after 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 Hands.
The histograms A-D display the simulated distributions of the difference in win rate (number of big blinds won per hundred hands) between players who were in the very best and players who were in the very worst performance percentile of the first six months of our sample period. Players are ranked according to the performance robustness measure. For each percentile, h hand outcomes are randomly drawn from their subsample of hands from the second six months of our sample period. In A, B, C and D, h = 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000, respectively.
