That depends on what you are trying to determine. Want to know your VP$IP or PFR? 5-10k hands should be good. Want to know your winrate? Well, if you want accuracy, it takes well over 100k hands. For a general idea, 30-40k hands should be good.

[/ QUOTE ] It also really, really depends on HOW MUCH you want to determine. If you're willing to settle for 40k hands to determine winrate, there's no way you'd ever need 10k hands to determine VP$IP.

In 1k hands, you'll have a very, very good idea of VP$IP. You won't be able to differentiate between 16.6% and 16.7%, but you'll know for sure whether they're tight or loose.
