    Hi rpm

    what sample size is needed before these kinda stats become meaningful, please?

    e.g. i've only got ~7k of hands so far; can I get anything helpful from this yet?

    Cheers!

    realistically, hundreds of thousands. perhaps millions. for most of our purposes and volume levels, i think 50k is a good starting point. others would say more/less.

    thanks fella

    is this true across-the-board? or do some stat types converge within a lower sample size?

    otherwise - i'll be back when i have 50k hands and lots of bad habits
