Lies, damn lies, & statistics.

After a two year break, I recently started playing live cash games again.
I'm recording my results on a simple to use online poker diary, but I don't understand some of the statistics.
Why for instance, is my overall win rate per hour more than my average win rate per hour?

Have you tried turning it on and off again?

Yes. I turned it off for two years and then I turned it on again. :-)

Overall win rate is your complete profit/loss divided by the complete hours played.
Average win rate is an average of each individual hour in a session. So every hours win rate added together divided by the number of sessions.
Think this is right off the top off my head

How's it been going since the return to action, Tom?
Are they wise to your cold 4 betting tendencies yet?

Not sure about the point of the stat - I suppose it could show up if you played badly in long sessions, but other than that it should be close to your overall win rate when enough samples are taken.

Disappointed. Was hoping this would be a British Prime Ministers thread.

Hello Tom! Not seen you in an age hope everything is good
These results will be so massively skewed by big results either way in the immediate future that they will both likely be all over the place.

It's going ok from a tiny sample. (6 sessions).
Cold 4 betting tendencies? I think you're confusing me with Alan Stern.

These two numbers should be no different for any data set, barring rounding errors it's essentially a roundabout way of doing the same calculation.
The only thing I could guess at for the distinction is that one of them takes account of the stakes. Is one in bb and one in £?
