    lol at playing 150k to just see if your a winner

    100nl or what are you playing? I would say like 30 bi for 25 and when you get to 100nl you would prob need 50 bi just cuz its higher variance and mroe solid players

    150k hands MIGHT show u if ur not just winning based on random variance (although this can still be argued via this puppy above). winning being >1bb/100.

    i played with 20bi up to 100nl, then started playing with 25. people still suck up through 100

    for that link, avg SD for bb/100 is between 75-100 imo. u can check in hem/pt3 for urs, but u need a real sample to do this accurately

    50k is a the minimum amount to start checking stats.

    100k is prolly the minium to start seeing if you are a winner or not.

    And buy ins for a level...It depends in your tilt tolerance.... I would suggest at least 40 BI...if you play with 20-30 BI and have a 10-15 BI downswing and have not emotional problem keeping grinding or going one level down its ok. If you are likely to be depressed by downswings like me, I recommed 50-70 BI.

    It's very possible to suck and win for 50k hands or to be awesome and break even for 50k hands.

    I'd say you need more like 100k hands for it to not be an accident.

    100k should be the min. Really isnt that bad to get that many hands. As for buy-ins, read up on Jennifear, but I usually stick to 50. Good Luck!
