Hi,
I'm quite new to online poker, just got my starting capital a couple of days ago.
I'm playing SnG's NL on cake poker. I'm just wondering how many games it should take until I know whether I am winning or losing money?
I've got only 20 games since now ( and 51$^^), but still i'm curious...

Probably around 1000 to get a good idea but even then it's not certain.

if you've won money then you're a winner

This.... And I would agree with GunFlavoured also. 1,000 games would be a good starting point to see what your ROI is etc.

But I would say at 10,000 to see if you can maintain that ROI through different limits.

I play cash and I would class 15,000 hands a small sample and would only say I have true reads on my own play at around 150,000 hands.

Blurry lines to be honest different people have different views ... This is mine

1k min S&G sarmple proferabley 2k or 3k.

30k hands mininum for Full-Ring Cash games, proferabley 50k or 60k.

60k hands mininmum for Short handed Cash games, proferabley 100k or 150k.

100k hands mininmum for Heads Up Cash games, proferabley 200k+

2 reasons only.
you're not broke
you're not on my table (see above)

only joking. Gl with the game.

okay, I see... thanks guys.
I wonder whether I'll ever reach that
