This misses the point. The signal-to-noise ratio of poker is relatively low, especially when you're dealing with win rates that are only slightly above zero (as is normally the case with poker bots). A hypothetical player whose "true" winrate is -0.5 BB/100 could easily play 30,000 hands and win more than 100BB, due to randomness. So you need a vast number of hands to determine if you're actually employing a winning strategy.
