its unlikely you should ever still be hanging out at .5/1 long enough to find out

If your Standard Deviation is the typical ~15BB/100 hands, you need 202.5K hands to be ~99% confident that your true win rate is within +/- 1BB of your apparent win rate.

Eh, a lot of science gets done at the 95% confidence interval. It's fine with me to be wrong that often. That works out to 900 samples, or 90K hands.

A lot of government work level science and mathmatics gets done at 95% because it is easier to have what you want fall within the realm of statistical purposes. Good science and math is done at 3SD or more.
