is the cap on the 1/2 nl games in Foxwoods really $100?

I totally disagree /w the people who are saying outright that the 1/2 is unbeatable because of the $10/hr and the buy-in. I feel like it's quite beatable in fact, with relatively straight forward play. I'll admit that my sample size is probably smaller than most (25-30 sessions, 8+ hrs each, over the last 32 months). I generally try not to get too cute and it seems to work out -- the nice thing about the game is, a lot of the players don't like to fold, so when you have the best hand, you can usually get paid off well.

Can anyone answer my question from before:

...[A]t what point does my small sample become not a small sample?

In other words how big a variance should I expect in this game? How many hours would be enough of a sample that I should worry about my lack of NL skills?

I've played in both those games. They're beatable. You just have to remember that your $100 buy in isn't your whole stake. Be prepared to rebuy. The only time it really hurts you is when you (or your opp) is all in, which is appreciable, but not that serious.

Turning Stone also has a 1/2 with a 200 buy in, but the lines are longer, and the competition a little harder. Turning Stone 1/2 100 is a raked game, not a time charge game.
