Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
I spent the better part of two years playing $2/$4 at my local cardroom with $4 total rake/jackpot before moving up to $4/$8 and $10/$20. Since we're talking about low limit I checked my statking databases. The first listing is before I corrected a major leak in my game. YES, discipline was an issue, but this correction fixed this problem. The second database is after implementing the rule AND sticking with it. Yes, I've had bad runs during the second database, but dealt with them with my head high and stayed with my "A" game.
1st Database: 915.15 hours @ $1.74/hour (10% $3 max rake with no jackpot drop)
2nd Database: 281.87 hours @ $4.07/hour (10% $3 max rake with $1 jackpot drop)
Low limit games are beatable at a reasonable rate.
