Estimating hands per hour

What happens is you reach know in a shorter time. That is what when SD becomes equal to EV due to the linear growth of EV and the square root growth of SD both in terms of rounds. By reaching n0 faster you have increased certainty of results for the same number of rounds.

Sorry but what is reaching know?

I think he meant "N0". He probably used voice input and it came out "know". It is actually to be pronounced "N-Zero". This explains how Tthree can do such long posts - he is speaking, not writing them. Mystery solved! .

Anyway, the faster the game, the faster you accumulate EV, the faster you overtake the variance of the game (i.e., reach N-zero), and thus the faster your actual results will begin to look like your expected results.

Oh I see. The break even point per se? isn't that around 70,000 rounds or so?

Depends on the game rules and pen, etc. N-zero of 70,000 rounds (SCORE of 14.3) would be considered a lousy game. Most would consider a minimum acceptable N-zero to be in the 20,000 to 30,000 range (SCORE of 33 to 50 range)

n0 (n-zero), not no or know, is the number of rounds it takes for EV to equal standard deviation. At that point it is reasonable to think you should not be in the red. Only 15.8% of the time will you be in the red. See bell curve in link below:
