I don't know. I imagine it depends on how loose your opponents are, how much better you are than your opponents, and how much the rake is.

and considering it is supposed to be a low variance game what is a good number of hands to start taking my stats seriously.
I don't know. I guess it depends on how much winning or losing at micro stakes means to you.

I know about 100k is a good sample size for NLH but what about FLO8? 5k, 20k, 50k?
I don't know.

Also what is a good bankroll rule to follow? 300BB or ?
I don't know. When you're already playing at micro stakes, what are you going to drop down to if your bankroll gets low?
I'm a recreational player. I think playing and thinking about poker, and in particular Omaha-8 is an enjoyable way to spend my time. I play because I enjoy friendly competition. When I compete, I try to win, but at the end of a session, it doesn't matter much, in terms of my lifestyle whether I have won or lost.
However, although making money is truly not my motivation, when I compete at anything, winning is my goal. And you keep track of whether you are winning or losing with money. Thus, following that line of logic, you could conclude that I play poker to make money.
But that would be twisting things around.
Anyhow, decide
why you're playing poker. If the true reason is because you need to earn enough money to sustain yourself and your family, then you have to be able to do that... you have to be able to earn enough money to sustain yourself and your family - and that is not easy.
