win rate in shorthanded lhe?


Recommended Posts

I just started playing shorthanded, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with what I should be aiming for and what kind of winrate is sustainable. I'm playing .5/1$ 5 max, and was wondering what a sustainable (good) win rate is?

Shorthanded, I'm happy if I can get 4/5BB/hr. There's a lot of variance there, coz youll be playing more hands. Don't put in many hours of shorthanded limit, but just checking my stats, I'm on about 3.5BB/hr over about 8 hours of play in the last month or so. Not enough hands to know if I can sustain tha though.

:shock: :shock: :shock:C'mon, be serious. Whatever your level, if you get more than 1.5 you should be very happy and move up a level if you have the bankroll.

at .5/1? online? as I say, I dont have a lot of hands logged, but ive found short handed to be weak as hell on pr, where I play. I agree, 3.5 probably isnt sustainable (as I said), I'm just telling him what I've experienced so far....And I was talking about being happy with 4/5 in a single session , not as an average - im sorry if I didnt make that clear.I dabble in 1/2, but haven't moved up properly, because my bankroll isnt really a bankroll - i add bits and take bits as necessary - i just f uck about really - which probably makes me less than ideal to answer questions in strat. Oh well.

Ok, well I'm confused now. Isn't short handed supposed to be more profitable that full ring? In full ring, 2-4 BB/100 at .5/1$ is sustainable, with 4 BB/100 probably being the upper limit. So then shouldnt 3 BB/100 at least be what a good player makes at those levels shorthanded? (maybe even more?)

A great player could probably make 3 BB/100 at .5/1, but the great players are all playing 50/100 and 100/200. It would be counterproductive for you think of emulating them. There's no point getting down over "only" making 1 BB/100, just because it's possible to make more.I assume you're inexperienced at 6max? If so, aim for 1BB/100 and take it from there.

People dont understand what running good is and what your actual win rate is.If you're playing full ring at any level if you're winning 2 bb/100 that is great. If you're making 1-1.5 that is still pretty good.For SH I think 4 bb/100 is a sustainable goal but nothing wrong with making 1-2 bb / 100.

Obviously win rate goes down as you move up.for 0.5/1 and 1/2, something over 5bb/100 is pretty sustainable for a good player.2/4, somewhere around 4 is very good3/6 and 5/10, between 3-4 is good.The very best players are able to sustain 3bb/100 as they move up and up and up.You should be very happy if you make 2bb/100 at 10/20 and above.

I cant imagine anyone doing 4bb/100 at 5/10 without dedicating inordinate amounts of time to selecting the perfect table for each session....  Obviously live play not withstanding.
Players who can beat the 10/20 game for a bit over 3bb/100 (and there are a few good players who can), should be able to beat the 5/10 game for close to 4bb/100.I can't, but some can.

without perfect table selection and seat position, i seriously want to see someone beat 10/20 for 3bb/100 over more than 25k hands. 4bb/100 at 5/10 is crazy as well.
