xbb/hour winnings..

What does someone mean when they say this? Do they mean you should win say, $1/hour on $0.50/$1.00 tables, or does it mean one big pot at these blinds?So, if at $0.50/$1.00, win like $10.00 an hour?Just wondering, as $1 would not seem like a whole lot, when I'm usually clearing the lowest of $2-$5 an hour.

You should get somewhere, on AVERAGE of 1-3 BB/hour in a fixed limit game.This is an average over...say 30 days, of playing 4 hours a day.So you should be up a total of 120-360BB for the entire month.Now, I don't know about you, but being up 360 dollars playing .5/1.00 sounds pretty good to me.And that's a very small sample size believe it or not.

Better to goby BB/100 handsIt's just a way to measure play.If playing 2/4 and you're up 10 BB/ 100 Hands then you're up $40If playing .50 / 1 and you'r eup 3 BB / 100 Hands, you're up $3

Note that BB/hr is best applied to live games. Online, BB per a certain number of hands (Usually 100) is a better measure of your skill.

I see, sounds decent. I'm up $130 in less than a week on various blinds below $0.50/$1.00, where I now play.I'm usually playing a few hours a day, so I'm averaging above average right now, if that makes sense.

Just don't do what I did, and set a fixed number of hands, then start getting anxious about how close I am to that total.UGH, that was a disaster.

Alright, I'm doing pretty piss poor here now, up 6.25BB in the last 80 hands.However, I had a bad run early in this 80, losing 20BB in the first 10 or so hands, but I got that back.

BB = big bet, so yeah, at 50c/$1, you should be earning between $1-$3 per hour. since online tables are much faster than live, a better measure is now BB/100 hands. you should be earning around 3-5 BB/100, so at 50c/$1, you should be earning around around $3-5 every 100 hands.this creates a different BB/hr when you play online. let's say three-table 50c/$1 and see around 65 hands per hour at each table, to give you around 200 hands per hour. if you're earning 4xBB/100, you're earning $8/hr.aseem

Erm...6.25 per 80 hands is unsustainable actually, you're doing far better then the average

[jlgosse 0]

Yeah, I think I posted that before everyone said what is the "average".Well, what would you consider a very good run in 100 hands of limit? 50BB?

[TheIceman05 0]

Yeah, that would be a pretty awesome run, there. Making fifty bucks in what likely amounts to like an hour of 2 handed play... Yeah, you're doing alright. Ice

That's about the biggest I've won in an hour.Actually, I won about $25 on one hand of NL, not sure what the blinds were, 0.25/0.50 I think, but I busted some idiot who kept raising EVERY hand, he went all in when I flopped the second nuts and I called, it was great.

[MrConceit 0]

Yeah, talking good streaks is kind of pointless on a BB/100 hands thread. But it's fun. The huge streaks balance out your bad beats. I've won around 100 BB in 100 hands before, but it's not like that's meaningful. Those dream days don't come very often, and they just balance the days the fish hit every improbable draw against you.

If you win $200 playing 3/6 in say 3 hours, that is "luck" and not a sustainable rate. If you win at that rate playing 300 hours, then call me and teach me your strategy. By the way, I'm talking one table here at a B&M. I know this is possible playing 4 or 5 tables online.Actually, I just want to see if my avator is working :-)

What's a good average in NL then?

Update: After 100 hands, up 12.5xBB.

[Emptyeye 0]

Yeah, you gotta love short-term variance. Because my entire Poker Tracker database thus far consists of 53 hands, it reports (Not entirely incorrectly) that I am beating Stars microlimits at the rate of 28.77BB/100. Yeah, I wish I could keep that up.
