Perhaps you're remembering a discussion about longterm at this link:
http://members.cox.net/vpfree/FAQ_LT.htm
...especially the part posted by John G. Zaroff part way down the page. Zaroff credits TomSki with calculating how many hands it would take to have a 95% chance of being within 1% of EV.
That's an interesting measure, but I don't think either Zaroff or TomSki meant for that to be an official technical definition of long term.
