Re: hands/hr. in a live game?
[ QUOTE ]
This has come up several times and there was an article about it, but I can't find it in the archives. If you just want to know if you're a winning player, the hand number is very low (~4k) if you're at a decent actual winrate and are willing to accept some uncertainty. The $250K number is to calculate an actual winrate.

This may be true if your actual winrate is high (of course we're always accepting uncertainty, its possible to never win with pocket AAs in your entire life). But look at the case where you're a winning player at 0.1BB/hour. Obviously this person won't know they're a winning player until a lot of hands.
The more hands you play the closer you can get to your true winrate. If that number is high you can relatively quickly know you're a winning player, but if its not you can't.
