I just had a horrible session that effectively knocked my win rate at Party 2/4 down into the small fractions of a BB/100. This is in almost 6000 hands of 2/4. At what point should I start to consider my winrate at a given level representative of my actual capabilities? Is 6k hands enough to say "wow I'm fucked?" (I think I know the answer, but please say no anyway.)

I will say that I had a run of 30,000 hands where my win rate was above 3 BB/100 at 3/6 and I am currently on a run of about 35,000 hands where my win rate is -0.5 BB/100.....With that being said, I'll let you draw your own conclusions of how accurate a reading you can get from 6,000 hands...

I think even a 100k hand data base would probably give you a solid reading BUT might not be "accurate"...
