Easy Q: how many hands played until BB/100 is reliable??
I'm sure it's an elementary question, but roughly how many hands do I need to play before putting some reliable stock in my BB/100.
I routinely chastise people who draw conclusions based on only 10,000 - 20,000 hands, but the reality is that I'm just talking out of my ass, and don't have any clue about what the 'true' number should be. Can anyone provide a mathematically-based answer? i.e. maybe with a range of hands-played and their associated confidence intervals?

Should help [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the link -- a little too complicated for me, i found -- is there a quick 'rule of thumb' as far as a threshold for # of hands before judging BB/100 to be reliable?

[/ QUOTE ] The problem with your question is two-fold. First, you need to define "reliable". Second, the confidence interval of winrate is dependant on two factors - the number of hands played and the standard deviation.
