Just a couple of questions in regards to Poker tracker stats.
Any assistance would b appreciated. Thx.

How many hands is good solid amount to find out if your running well or playing well. 10,000? 25,000? 50,000?

I'm worried im just on a run at .2/.4 although i feel i have been playing well. I know it's small stakes but im multi-tabling with nine full rings to build a bankroll from $100.

I've played about 6500 hands and have an unusually high BB/100 at 11.36 BB/100 hands.

Also is 14/10 with an "att to steal" of 31.54 any good?
or should this be alot higher?

Look forward to some help. Thx.

Your winrate over 6.5K hands could be a LONG way off your real winrate. Its nowhere enough. You can run good (or bad) for tens or even hundreds of thousands of hands.

That said, your winrate so far is great so there is a probably high chance you're running good.

The stats you quoted are fine for a beginner - nice and tight, and you're raising far more than you're calling. I would caution against playing too many tables too early though. I think you're better off with fewer tables but watching them more closely to try to understand what your opponents are doing.

Sounds like its going fine. Keep going.

Steal % should be ≥ 30%. You're doin' good.

With good careful play, your win rate can stay that high imo. I've seen higher from some posters here that made their way through it.
I confess in quicksand

for that many tables keep your VPIP where it is but you could raise your PFR a bit.

That's a pretty damn good win rate. I'm gonna guess and say your running pretty good over only 6500 hands and you may not be able to maintain that. That being said, don't change much it seems to be working.

I should tryin bringing my VPIP down to that LOL

I beat 2NL for 44ptBB/100 before moving up, but that was definitely a heater.

I dunno, maybe a decent player could sustain a long term winrate over 10ptBB/100 at 2NL, but if you're beating it that bad you'd surely move up, and it would be a lot harder to maintain it at a higher level.

Sometime last year I decided to just play 2nl FR I think 16-20 tabling or so for 8 hours one day and ran something like 10-12 ptbb/100.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

There you go. If you're doing 10-12 then OP at 11 is most probably on a heater.
