beating a limit... - Page 2

god it's like asking how many girls you gotta get wit before you know you're a playa... the first 10 could just be luxy, you don't even know for sure. maybe after 50, 100 you know you have a system that works fosho. but for poker... hands wise? fuck it could be 200k hands and you could still be getting lucky like all the girls be on the rebound you just getting them for no reason. i think it's all a matter of self-evaluation and confidence. you could be losing over the first 10k hands and be like WSUP i know i own this limit. it's really in your own mindset imo. i'm drunk so don't take this all too srsly

LOL, n1

It really depends on the limits, I'd say like 100k hands for anything below NL100 and probably 500k for anything higher. It also depends on your style and why you've been winning as well... I think a lot of it comes from just your general feel of the game and how you've been playing.

In all honesty though, you could be crushing for over 500k hands and still be a losing player in the long term. I think it's a lot more of a personal judgment call than anything statistical.
