Default Re: How many hands before opponents stats are reliable?

The number varies greatly by stat. VPIP for instance converges much more quickly than W$SD.

Agreed. I'm interested more in the VPIP/PFR... I take a lot of the pop up stats with a big grain of salt. if I get check-raised on the flop, if there stats say "flop c/r - 40%" over 500-1000 hands, I'll consider that. With those decisions, though, I like to use my own reads and information from that given session (i.e. is he tilting? did he just have a big hand cracked? have I personally seen him get out of line?).
