Default Re: Win rate in Bellagio $15-30 games

I'm over 2BB an hour in it but not nearly enough hours and probably not sustainable. I notice that the game can get pretty tough. I know I played one time where there were several other 2+2ers at the table and another time where there were zero passive fish and the only reason the game was beatable was because there were 2 lagtards who kept overplaying their hands. They clobbered most of the weak/scarred/tight players that were at the table, but myself and another 2+2er kinda cleaned their clocks by simply calling down nearly every hand we entered the pot with.

On other occasions though, the players were just awful fish and the games were good.

Another thing is that I don't generally play during the day. I have found the daytime games more difficult.

And FWIW, I think the Mirage $10-20 is a pretty beatable game, and the Wynn $15-30 is very good sometimes too.

One more thing....in your post you ask about yearly income potential. I assume that means you are considering a move to Vegas to try being a pro. I need to comment on that. #1 I cannot imagine trying to make a living at these levels for a whole host of reasons. #2 I don't think mid limit holdem games in Vegas are a good way to make a living, particularly $10-20 up to $30-60. There are not a lot of games, and a few times a year, there are very few games.

If you did want to pursue poker as a career, I highly recommend getting a job with benefits(regardless of pay) that allows you to work 20-30 hours a week and supplementing that work with your poker play. I'm not sure that very many people are capable of sustained winning play combined with riding out variance at these levels of limit play.
