The notion of statistical significance as applied to research papers doesn't map well to the poker domain. He keeps repeating that they won 9 big blinds per hundred hands over an 80k sample because anyone familiar with poker at all knows that's an absolute spanking.
Does that mean no-limit poker is volatile enough that results considered by insiders to be long-term don't achieve 95% confidence? Idk probably, I haven't looked at the math myself. Is 73 buy-ins over 80k hands a huge win? No doubt.
