Really that many? I understand that there is a lot of variance in poker ad you need a decent samplesize. But if you re trying to move up (especially from the lower limits) and your are doing so after a normal BR strategy, then you would probably be able to move up before you know if you are beating your current limit.
So the new question that emerges is:
Do you move up when you "know" you are beating your limit, or when you are capable BR wise?
yeah, ofcourse after 50k hands. as benLZ thought that was on the tipping point of becoming a decent sample size.
I am thinking about the case if you reach a sufficent BR to move up after say as little as 5k-15k hands.
