Just a thought, at 40-50 hands per hour, how many hours is 100,000 hands? (About 2000 hours minimum which would be the equivalent of a year at a full time job.) And, how much money have you put at risk to reach 100,000 hands? (Do you play $.25/$.50 NL? Are you playing average post of $4? Are you in 1 out of 5 pots? I'm making up some stats on the spot. Then you have put $4 x 2000 pots or $8000 at risk if you are playing minimal games....) What I am pointing out, this is some serious time and coin that you are already out before you have statistics that you find analytically meaningful. It is important that you do this, but BY NO MEANS, should anyone wait to find out how they can improve their game by means of stats. I have long been a proponent of stats being a little lower than lying in giving you information, lol. Use primary information first and you will be many steps ahead than if you use stats. Stats follow good strategy. Sorry to get on a rant, but I have lived around the academic world to long. I find it so annoying the many fallacies that so many find in numbers. OK, sermon over... return to your normal activities. (P.S. don't ignore the numbers, just don't wait for them ;)!)
