Default Re: How many hands before I know I\'m a winning player?

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the input guys, it looks like 50K hands is a reasonable target to establish if I'm a winning player.

Regarding winning vs tough games: maybe I should have said I want to become a top LHE player and a way I believe I can achieve this is to play in the toughest games available at the limits I am rolled for.

I plan to play 1 night per week for 3 hours, I only single table so I'm looking at ~300 hands per session. I want to achieve a win rate of 2BB/100 so I will stop at either 6BB profit or the 300 hands whichever comes sooner.

If you are going to play only 3 hours/week, you should learn to multitable as soon as possible. Also, quitting when you get ahead 6BB is not going to help your game. You might win the first hand and then what? done for the night? Play as well as you can for 3 hours, experiment with playing more than one table, and don't fret over the results of any one session.
