Popped the cherry, might as well ask some dumb ones.

I have been viewing posts here for a while now. I absolutely love this forum. I have learned so much in such a short time. This forum has opened my eyes to things that may have taken 100 of hours to figure out on my own. Thanks.
I responded to a post or two today, one of my first really and got some feeback and flame so I figured why not just dive in and post a question.
I have only been recording my Sng's for about 4 months, and from what I have read here, you can not get a decent sample until you hit 500+. My question is:

Does Time play any important factor in this? If someone plays 500 Sng's in one week and the other plays 500 over 4 months, do you think that the person that took 4 months has more solid ROI because you could not attribute it to "being on a heater"?

Flame on!!
