Re: Why is 10,000 hands too small?
I think you're off by a factor of 10. If you winrate is over 3 BB/100 after 10,000 hands you can be fairly confident you are a winning player. I think there is a pretty big difference between "knowing you are a winning player" and "knowing your win rate". On these same numbers you only know your win rate +/- 3 BB*.

*Not really. Except at the very smallest stakes, winrates above 5 BB/100 are not possible.
