It's the cash game paradox.
It takes a couple years to log enough hands for any meaningful sample size; but by that amount of time passes you aren't playing in the same game as you were for the first portion of your sample (either you have a new room, new stakes, new villains... or, even if your room and stakes and villains are mostly the same then they have definitely adjusted their strategy so they aren't really the same any more).
You can never really know for certain that you're a winning player. It's worse for live MTTs.
You just have to live with anecdotal analysis and a big bank balance.
