Reasonable hourly rate?

[Foreverastudent]

I kind of have to agree with Yepitis on this one. I think that $15-18 is entirely do-able, depending on the table situation. It really depends on the competition. I've been pulling approximately this rate for the past few months, but I have to admit that my competition is exceptionally weak, being very loose, passive, and predictable (yummy).

I can't really compare, because I wasn't playing before the "poker boom," but I think a lot more weak and inexperienced players are coming to the card rooms now, which make the games so much softer than before. This means that unusually high hourly rates are now possible at these low limits.
