Default Re: Poker Tracker Question

1bb/100 hands would be a pretty commendable turn around... after u have an idea of ur winrate and ur std deviation u can do a risk of ruin calculation to determine ur needed bankroll. U want about 50k hands atleast though to make any assumptions about ur winrate and even then I tihnk ur better off underestimating it, 50k hands is really still a very small sample that can have plenty of positive or negative variance in the results. I recommend going 500bbs for full ring, though if ur not a winner it wont matter how large u chose.

Stats are a good start though, see if ur preflop and af and blind defense are remotely in line with the ranges recommended for good play and thats a heck of a start towards improvement.

Also 5/Ts kinda tough for limit now a days unless u have good table selection there are a ton of multi tabling semi pro tags and lagtags (even at what is considered small stakes) that will just crush a novice nowadays and they infest most every table on every site it would seem.
