NLHE - what's a decent return at BB $0.02 or $0.05

[South Pole]

Can anyone suggest what they think is a decent winning rate at these micro levels? I've now played 600 hands at these levels (which I know is not very much) and I hope to at least maintain my current win rate. These hands were all played at (max) 6-handed cash games.

Depends on whether you are buying in for 250BB or 100BB. .05 on Stars is 200BB stacks, though buying in for 100 is fine depending on what you are rolled for. I think if you are playing for maximum buy-in you could beat .02 for somewhere between 30 and 40 big blinds/100. I'm currently beating .05 for 25bblinds/100 over 40k hands. The play is bad at both levels but considerably better at 5c compared to 2c.

Thanks for your useful reply. Please explain what you mean when you say "05 on Stars is 200BB stacks".

At most level, you can buy in for 100 BB (Big blinds). So I play .25/.50, and I can buy in for $50 max. You are allowed to buy in for 10$ at NL .05, so that is a 200 BB stack.
