While reading this keep in mind that I'm a fairly new player and only studied poker very casually for 3-4 months and have played with real money for only 4 months. I have also played play money for a little under a year and am looking to take in all the information I can to get better.
BACKGROUND:
So I woke up a couple of mornings ago and decided to 2-tabling 2NL zoom and averaged 43.333bb/100 over a 2400 hand sample size. Within about 5 hours I profited 20$ and moved to sit-n-go's where I made about 10$. Feeling confident in myself I figured I could probably fit in 3-4 more hours of 2 NL zoom grinding and averaged about -75bb/100 for those 4 hours. I was lucky that I had to go somewhere at that time and stopped, although all my winning where gone and I was back to square one.

MY QUESTIONS:
- Is 2400 hands a good enough sample size to conclude expected earnings per 100 hands?
- How long should I play for each day in terms of both hands(eq: 1000 hands per day) and hours per day?
- Is jumping between game types [ever] good?
- When do I stop?(should I stop after x amount of hands or when I lose a certain amount of buy-ins?)
- How can I identify tilt and how can I manage it to minimize loss of money?
- Are there any other factors that could contribute to loss of money apart from mental fatigue/tilt?
