I' m being perfectly straightforward with you about a subject that can be readily verified with a 10-second web search. I understand that it's a rather advanced mathematical concept, which is why I' m willing to take the time to explain it to you.
Let's make sure we're on the same page and talking about one topic at a time.
What's your definition of variance?
Mojo, I appreciate your enthusiasm and think you are a great poster.
I don't want an advanced Maths lesson.
Put it this way.
When it starts raining (and it rains a lot in England) I put up my umbrella so I don't get wet. I don't need to know the average size of the raindrops and the speed they are falling. Nor do I need to know what the water is made of. I just need to know that if I don't put up my umbrella I'm going to get wet. I may want to estimate the length of time it will rain for but I'm not digging out past records and using advanced mathematics here. I'm just looking up at the sky and thinking. It's pretty dark, it's probably going to rain for at least an hour.
I appreciate that you have a better understanding of variance but I feel I have enough of an understanding of variance in poker, not to get wet.
Cheers
DJ
