Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1531090, member: 40397"] It also depends on what stats you're looking at. Some stats like VPIP/PFR and cbet converge very quickly. For instance, you can often reasonably infer from a relatively small sample (I'd say even a few dozen hands, certainly a couple hundred) whether you're playing too tight/loose pre-flop, or too passive post-flop. Other stats like steal stats by position and 3bet/4bet stats take a lot of hands to converge because the opportunity for those stats to actually be counted arise much less frequently than stats like VPIP/PFR which are counted for every pot you enter outside of checking the BB, or for AF which is calculated based on how much you call/raise/fold post-flop. So yes, to get a more complete picture of your stats, you need tens of thousands of hands. But for basic leakfinding around things like starting hands and basic aggressiveness, you can get started working on things with much fewer stats. [/QUOTE]
