I believe 25-50 is beatable for 9BB/100 before rake, while the game is generally tighter than my local 4/8; this is where I get my estimates for 9-12BB/100 for 4/8 and lower. Your 5/10 game sounds like my usual conditions.

9bb/100, you must be one of the greatest poker players of all time.

In the PT main screen, add the total rake paid to your profit, and recompute your winrate before rake . At micro stakes online, some sites have a 4BB/100 rake, and beating a 25-cent limit game for 5BB/100 is totally feasible-- we're not talking 1/2 here. Presto! 9BB/100.

You don't have to accept my gross (before rake) winrate estimates, either-- I detailed my calculation method, so you can plug in numbers that suit your game, if you wish.

I suggest you take your 1-1.5 BB/hr guess for the other poster's 4/8 and figure out what BB/100 that corresponds to before rake. If you include a $1 tip per fully raked pot, it's quite close to 9BB/100 for 1.5 BB/hr.

Which is it, then? Is 9BB/100 gross impossible, making 1.5BB/hr after rake impossible?
