I said after 5,000 games your results will begin to closely depict your winrate, not that it would 100% be correct. Variance can easily cause a winning player to have a breakeven stretch. On top of that, you seem to be suggesting that the v

Yes, sorry, I should have specified that each buy-in has a small percentage raked from it which goes to PokerStars for hosting the game. Rake is a part of every form of real money poker. It's how casinos and online poker sites make the
