Default Re: 2-5NL Games in Vegas: Can you make a living?

Nobody that stays at 4/8 has a true winrate of 2 BB/100. 4/8 Vegas = $0.50/1.00 online. And there are a LOT of people who can sustain a 6-7 BB/100 winrate at 0.50/1.00 online. Now 99.9% of those people are playing at MUCH higher stakes, but you can definately sustain a 2 BB/hr winrate live. You would be a moron to do so for long, as you could probably just as easily sustain a 1 BB/hr winrate at 20/40.

I think you can make 2K a month at the 4/8 LHE games in vegas (avg 2 BB/hr @ 40 hours/week = 640/week

Nobody's true winrate in a live 4/8 limit game is really 2BB/hr.

Exactly, I am sure that plenty of pros could make more than 2BB/hour at 4/8 limit live if they put their mind to it. But if you could do that, you probably shouldn't be playing 4/8. The play is very bad. I know Sklansky made a comment that no one could make 1/2 BB/hour in the big game. As you move up in limits, it becomes harder to make so many BB/hour in much tighter games.
