Default Re: Is it safe to say I suck?

friend, 8.7k hands is a raindrop in the ocean. way too small a sample size. general concensus is 100k hands starts to become significant. being up at all after your short playing time is a good sign. break-even play means you are beating the rake which is more than most players do.

im sure you know that 300BB's is the recommended bankroll for limit. if you play long enough, you will experience 300BB swings. i have many times.

for NL, the recommended bankroll is 20 buy-ins. i have had swings of 10 buy-ins over three days (~4500 hands.)

keep reading/posting at this site. get the recommended books and PT.

gl or more appropriatley(sp), good variance.
