I agree. 50k is still not statistically speaking the long term, but it is certainly better than examining a single hand, or worse yet, using one's selective memory (it's much easier to remember bad beats than it is all the times you win with the best hand) to analyze a non-random group of hands.
That's why I said let's look at some real number. Show me 100k Poker Tracker hands and we'll be even better off. Show me 1 million, and dare I say, you've reached the long term.
