How many hands/hours = long run?

[osucbj04]

How many hands and/or hours played would you guys consider to be long term? I've been playing poker for a bit and am winning (200/400nl) but I'm curious to see if I can clasify this as a pattern or streak. I played a lot of poker as a break even player and now I'm winning, but again I don't know if I can contribute it to a streak or pattern.

Any advice would be great! Thanks!

if you're talking in terms of being a winning player, not all that many. maybe 30k hands at 5 ptbb, 50k at 3 ptbb, or 100k at 1.5+ ptbb

if you're talking about knowing your winrate within a small margin, hundreds of thousands of hands. but winrate doesn't really matter


if you post your wr and number of hands during your hot streak i can give you a rough estimate
