Hi. When using Winpoker I have been judging my skill, or lack thereof, by looking at the % errors in the "Current Session Analysis" window. This probably isn't the best way since the final error score doesn't differentiate between major and minor errors. Four large errors or four very minor errors both result in a final score of 96% I am thinking that Return % in the "Error Effect on Total Return" window would be a better indication of ability. Dick McK.
Best Way.

That's the one you want to use. It tells exactly what the cost of your
errors would be over time.

Yes, you are correct in your thinking that Return % in the "Error
Effect on Total Return" window would be a better indication of ability
than the % errors.
(It's vastly better; it's what matters in terms of real dollars out of
your wallet when you play for real).
You can figure your personal theoretical return by multiplying this
Error Effect by the Perfect-Play EV of the game (math gurus, correct me
if I am wrong).
For example: if your Error Effect from playing 9/6 JOB is .995%, since
the PP EV of 9/6 JOB is .9954%, your personal theoretical EV for 9/6
JOB would then be .995 x .9954 = .9904 or 99.04%
One note of caution, it will take you a LOT of practice samples to come
up with your true "Error Effect". Once this is all done, you should
have a PRETTY good idea of what your results would be in the casino (in
the long run). Of course then you still have the nebulous question of
what effect the difference in conditions between the casino and your
practice environment would be on your performance.
