Dataminers - a question for you.

How big a dataset do you need to have a good read on a good number of opponents that you might play against regularly?

To break that down a little, if I always play SNGs for the same 4 hours a day at the same buy in at PP, how much datamining on the same 4 hours would I need to do before I have good data on 10% of the players, or 20% etc. And how often would I play against one of those players I have good data on?

Anyone done any research on this or have experience of it?

It will all depend on the level (buyin) you are playing at for the situation you listed. In general the lower the buyin the bigger the sample you will need to reach your listed criteria.
