You can use statistics to come up with actual numbers, you need things like win rates, standard deviations, and confidence intervals.

AKA you can say after X hands with 99.99% certaintity that your true winrate is Y.

I think this answers the question, but just to clarify...

With an infinite number of hands the confidence interval would be a single number with 100% certainty. By the time you have a sample of millions of hands, you'd be really close to that number.
