Performance Robustness Measure Deciles.

The table ranks all players who played 1,000 hands or more over the first six months of our sample period into deciles by their performance over these six months. Here, the performance measure that is used to rank players is the performance robustness measure, which is defined as the average number of big blinds won per hand after correction for rake divided by the estimated standard error. The estimated standard error is the sample standard deviation of the rake-corrected winnings per hand divided by the square root of the number of hands. The statistics shown for each resulting decile are defined as in Table 2. The various panels and correlation coefficients are also identically defined. Performance Robustness Measure Deciles.
