Absolutely nothing. And, more to the point, it certainly doesn't have anything to do with "a certain number of hands to surpass the expected return" as regnis stated.

There is no "number of hands" to surpass the expected return ... and you know it ... so why are making these kind of statements? Now, you could hit a big winner in one hand although it won't happen very often and any strategy that depends on it will fail the vast majority of time. Is that what you are proposing ... a strategy that fails almost every time? Is this why you created this forum? To promote approaches that almost guarantee failure?
