Default Number of hands needed to judge profit?

How many hands do you think you need to play to acurately judge if you are actually making a profit. I have created a spreadsheet and am keeping track of the date, time played, hands played, profit, profit per hour and a cumulative profit and profit per hour. Anyone else doing similiar? and/or have any suggestions or advice. Also, can someone explain standard deviation or point me in the right direction on where to read about it. Thanks.

It really depends on exactly how 'accurate' you want to be. But you should have a pretty good idea after a million hands or so...

Gambling Theory & Other Topics by Mason Malmuth should answer most of your questions.

So the correct answer to this question is to use a combination of numbers that pokertracker provides to take your baseline bb/100 and put an error margin around it using standard deviation. There was a post about this somewhere else that you could search for. I have an excel spreadsheet that I produced. If you can't find the post, PM me and I'll drag out the spreadsheet when I get home.
