Default how many hands before stats are reliable
Hi,

I've been using poker tracker for a couple of days now and I've compiled about 5K hands. How much hands do you believe is required before the "variance" or luck factor doesn't interfere with the stats ?

I want your opinion or personal experience !

1/2; either they're reliable or they're not.

If you don't have two hands stats are the least of your problems.

Ya, this is about right. If you are down after 1500 or at most 2k hands you should probably quit poker because you're obv a losing player.

It depends; if you get sucked out on a lot during your sample then you obviously have to start over since that's not a good representation.
