102 sessions 297.7 hours Isn't that an average of 3 hours per session? Any reason for this? 1793 net profit 1.00 bb/hour 141 in expenses (valet, non-dealer tips, food) [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
[ QUOTE ]
I find it noteworthy that no one is posting their own stats. I have 800 hrs. in low limit games ranging from 2/4-8/16 + some 3/6 full kill O/8, etc. I'm earning the princely sum of $1.65/hr. This figure is net of all rakes and tips. I think it is easy to: 1) Overrate your skill set (rookie!), 2) Underrate the impact of variance, both good and bad. [/ QUOTE ] QFT. I've just passed the 850 hour mark of B&M 2/4 and I'm killing the game to the tune of $1.80/hour (i.e. 0.45 BB/hour). I'm exactly 50/50 in sessions won vs sessions lost. IMHO, I think people greatly overestimate the advantage they have over poor players at the table. For any particular play, an opponent only has one of three options (fold, check/call or raise) and in a lot of instances even bad players can make the correct decision the majority of the time. A blind monkey could probably make the correct decision a fair percentage of the time, and the time he doesn't he could get lucky a fair percentage of that time. Overall these accumulations of small mistakes will cause them to be long term losers (enabling you to become a long term winner) but it ain't the gravy train people make it out to be. |

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
Yeah, I started out playing longer sessions but now I'll sit for less than an hour when waiting for 4/8, 6/12, etc. My last 24 "sessions" are less than an hour, many are like .1 or .2 hrs

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
My last 115 hours of 6/12 play I am making $9.80 per hour. Before that I didn't keep hourly statistics because I wasn't really very serious about it.
At 3/6 I'm confident I would be about a break even player, as the rake is exactly the same in both games. $5 a hand (3 in drop, 1 in tip, 1 in jackpot collection) is just vicious in 3/6. |

Three hour sessions, takes me that long to get to my card room and back.

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
You guys are winning my money since I lose $6/hr playing 3/6. This is over 4 years of trying to beat the game. It was -$10 for the first two years so I am improving. LOL
I can not beat the $5 drop per hand won. |

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
Over a lot of hours I'm beating 3/6 for less than .5 bets per hour and 20/40 for twice as much.

Re: Reasonable hourly rate?
Sorry - I'm an online player so B&M is a different story!
In the OLD days when tables were bad (I'm talking 45% flops) I was a 2BB/hour player. This is over a million hands. Heck - Crypto used to have 3/6 50% games all the time and even last year I could play 5/10 60% flops for a hour at some Euro sites. Once things got tighter and PARTICULARLY since they closed down Euro sites for Americans I find it hard to get over 1.5BB/hour. So if you are talking bad players you could do 2BB/hour - HOWEVER(2) - it depends how many hands you are playing - can I assume you are talking LIVE games?? |
