Default How many hands is a decent sample size?

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, but I'm rebuilding my confidence by playing at 0.01-0.02 NL on Stars and beating it for like 20BB/100. I would like to move up slowly and was wondering how many hands one should play to be fairly certain one can beat a given no-limit level, 20,000 or so? Thanks for any feedback.

Enough so your average win rate is greater than the standard error of your win rate.

If you even know what 20BB/100 means, you can move beyond 0.01-0.02 in my humble opinion.
