Really, I would think 80,000 hands would be enough of a sample size, that's got to be at least 800 hours of play or equivalent.

I know the fluctuations can be huge, even when your set is snapped off at the river (capped on flop and turn) by a two-outer, but to wait for 700,000 hands would suggest a standard deviation of 50-100 big bets per 100 hands.

Could it be that most limit poker is simply a game of chance?

"Could it be that most limit poker is simply a game of chance?"

IIRC, mike l. once claimed that. My feeling is that it's a game of chance in that, over the next few thousand hands, the best player in the world might be a net loser. But there's no way the worst player in the world will be a net winner.

I can tell you whether the core group of players in my limit game will be winners or losers in the next year with a very high degree of accuracy.
