Depends on what stats you want. If you're looking to compute your standard deviation in a limit game, 100 hours (about 3,000 hands) is probably enough. If you're looking to determine your hourly earn, a bare minimum number would probably be about 15,000 to 20,000 hands (500 hours).

If you want stats for big-bet poker or multi-table tournaments, you probably need much more data than this.
