Default Re: How many hands at Limit Poker do you need in a Poker Tracker...

You don't need to be a math guy; just plug Homer's formula into Excel and let it do the math for you. But here's the easy version for you:

If you made $400 (or 100 BB) over 13k hands, that's .77 BB/100. Assuming a standard deviation of about 19 (typical), I can say with 95% confidence that your true win rate is somewhere between -2.5 and 4 BB/100. If you only want 1 sigma (66% confidence), then it's -.8 and 2.36.

In other words, yeah, 13k hands is pretty useless.
