Sample Size Question

[AceRat138]

Just curious as to how big of a sample size one needs before he/she has a good idea of how well they will do at a certian level. I am currently 4-6 tabling the 22s and have logged just over 200 SNGs (just moved up to the 22s from the 11s). I was wondering if this was a large enough sample size to aproximate my ITM and ROI percentages. Thoughts?

i think the faqing FAQ suggests 500

Most people don't think 1000 SNGs is enough, for what it's worth. Pros tens of thousands of SNGs with 15% ROI+ see swings that run across hundreds or even thousands of SNGs.

Oh and read the FAQ.

you need thousands to know within a few % what your true numbers are
