Say you have logged 80,000 hands online,20,000 hands each at .50/1, 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6. You have shown a profit at all 4 levels over this time with varying win rates. Should u consider yourself a winning player?

I would say you can consider yourself a winner after 20,000 winning hands at 4 consecutive levels.

You wont have a good idea of your winrate for any given level, but I think it is safe to assume it is difficult to run so good that after 80,000 hands a loser would look like a winner.

Do you believe your combined overall winrate is useful in anyway?

Not your combined, but I do believe your win rate at a given level is a good indicator of if you chould move up.

eg

0.5/1 you beat for 2BB/hr
1/2 you beat for 1.7BB/hr
2/4 you beat for 1.5BB/hr
3/6 you beat for 0.4BB/hr

Now I hope I havent pwned myself, because I havent worked out the hourly $ for all my assumptions. but if you only beat 3/6 for 0.4 but beat a lower level for 1.5 it would lean towards indicating you are not as skilled at the higher level.

I would say you're a winner but it's impossible to say with any certainty what your rate is. I think the jury is still out as to when you reach your "true" winrate because otherwise winning players can break even for 100k hands at a time.
