How many hands do you need to determine true win rate?

Within .25 bb/100 hands?

BOOODLES!

depends on your winrate and your std deviation, and the confidence level you want in your results. but in general, you're talking about hundreds of thousands of hands.

do some searches for "winrate" to find more detailed stuff. i'm sure it's on here.

If you post your standard deviation someone can tell you in 30 seconds. It's just a formula. This doesn't need to be in two forums.
