i think a more realistic hand distribution would be much closer to approaching normality.

Mine was just for example purposes.

BOTH will move towards normalcy one will just be quicker than the other.

This is the table I was recommending to be set up. Then run convolutions.

Just like we will never know our win rates to the .00001 per 100 we will never know exactly where the distribution becomes normal.
That's just part of statistics and the reason people use confidence intervals.

The defintion of 'enough' data is how much you have.
