Default LA Mid-Limit Hold\'em

My apologies if this has been addressed before, here or elsewhere. For those of you who play the mid-limit (9/18-30/60) games in the LA clubs - Commerce, Bike, HP, Hustler, etc. - what kind of winrate have you been able to sustain over a significant number of hands? My intuition is that for a skilled player these games should be very profitable, but I have little frame of reference as to just how much a middling, good, or great player would be expected to make. Interested in hearing from people here who might know...

2bb/hr when I am running hot, but about 1.4-1.7 over the long run. And there are plenty of guys around here who play better than I do, so I think the games are definitely beatable for 2bb/hr.

Interesting. So more or less ~$45/hour at a 15 game, and you believe that's sustainable?

I doubt that I'm as good as you, but I'm pretty damn sure I'm a lot better than the average player at HP or Hustler. Good food for thought. Anyone else have real results, or experience in similar situations?

I believe what PJ says is correct and reflects similar results I have had in those games. I have some flaws in my game including a tendancy to slightly tilt at times, so someone who plays flawless/perfect poker could probably do a little better than 2BB an hour at Los Angeles $15-30 and up.

Thats over a lot of hours over the past 4 years or so...with only a few hundred at $15-30 and up over the past 10 months. But I also had a $28 an hour win rate at Los Angeles area $10-20 LHE games over a lot of hours several years ago when I tried to make it as a full time player.

That sounds about right, I win around 1.3 in Bay Area 20-40 over about 1800hrs and the games in LA are slightly softer at that level (they are substantially softer at 40-80 in LA).

I suspect it is possible to win 2BB if you play perfect poker too, but its the very rare person that can play perfect poker over a lot of hours.

I just checked out your homepage Elena, and you're who I thought you were. I've only played with Elena once I think, but she's probably the toughest chick I've played against at 20-40 around here.

She's probably one of the top 5% of the 20-40 players locally, so 1.3 is probably about what a good player can expect to get in the Bay Area. I'm under that... :-(

I'm making $7 an hour my last 300 hours at 40-80. Good luck on your 2/hour estimates a-holes.

Oops. Make that $33 an hour over my last 316 hours. Heh.
