I think that would result in a huge variance value that would be
totally unrealistic since no player tries all 32 ways of playing
every hand.
Sorry, I should have made it clear that I only considered all
the possible draws of the optimum play for each dealt hand. It
was obvious for me (no need to considers cases that don't
happen), but I guess that it wasn't clear in what I wrote.
Actually, for the case of 1000 players each playing one hand, I can
say that exactly 0% (none) of those players can be more than one SD
below expectation.
That was exactly my point.
How many hands is "enough" is subjective, and I don't think it is
important. The Risk of Ruin for a given game and bankroll is much
more significant [...]
Agreed - although I'll argue that "enough" can be defined quantitatively,
but indeed it's not what matters for VP play.
