How many heads up (2 player) games do I need to play to be confident in my ROI and win%? This is on Stars.

I don't think you could ever be more then 50% confident of your roi within 15% or so even after around 5000.

Just too many variables, you could probably be reasonably confident you are a winning player with a 10% + roi after 1000 or so but thats just a guess.

Ok someone has to explain this to me. Why is it possible to be relatively sure of your win rate in a 10 player tournament, but not in a 2 player tournament?
