I want to figure out what games im most profitable in...
I have HM so I can track basically everything
My first thought is that 25K hands at: (to see where I come out)
1) NLHE HU 20
2) NLHE 6 max 50
3) NLHE full ring 50
These are the three games that are going to be tested...
Should different games have different sample sizes associated?
Or is this a good enough sample test?
Please if you agree cool, but if you don't tear it apart and lemme know ur opinion, it can only help... Thanks

25k samples are worthless for win rate. So, to answer your question, not enough hands of any games you've selected. I think you should just pick a game you find most appealing and grind it out for 100k+ hands and see how you feel.
Also, 20nl HU is a rake trap, stay away.

25k hands is not going to give you a reliable answer. But it's better than nothing I guess.
You will probably get the most accurate results at full ring with 25k hands, because the variance is lower than 6max or HU.
