Re: 1/2 NL winrates?
[ QUOTE ]
All things being equal, would one make more at 3/6 limit or 1/2NL? [/ QUOTE ] 1/2 NL plays bigger than 3/6 limit, so there's a rake problem at 3/6. Also, the worst NL players are playing 1/2 and so they tend to make very big mistakes occasionally. It's not possible to make a very big mistake at 3/6 limit. However playing games like limit 8/16, 10/20 and 15/30 are going to be as profitible or more profitable than some 1/2 NL games. You can probably find some 1/2 NL games that are more profitable than the limit games too though. Very table dependent.

Re: 1/2 NL winrates?
[ QUOTE ]
We have alot of casinos in the city. Buy ins range from 200, 500 and even 1000 at one place. My NL experience is limited to a few thousand hands as I played pretty much limit online. I'm not interested in playing limit live as I understand it's pretty much dead at this point. [/ QUOTE ] I had no idea places had $1000 buy ins for 1/2NL. Do people buy in for that amount? I think you could make a very decent amount this deep. Seriously, I'm drooling a bit.

Re: 1/2 NL winrates?

8bb/h is sustainable, but you need to be the best player at the table and play at a casino that doenst rake more than 4$ per pot and play pretty fast (at very least 40 hands / h) [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't drive 35 minutes one way to a casino 3 times a week if I was only making $16/hr. Over the past approximately 90 hours I have sustained about $80/hr... I am still trying to figure out if the other players are just that bad, I am just that good, or I have been that lucky...I think it is a combo of all the above. Won 12 out of last 15 sessions. 1 loss I felt like throwing chips around and having fun so I got drunk and did just that, haha. Another loss I played awful (and laughed about it) after a big weekend with a tournament cash. The 3rd loss came from a huge pot where myself and the villain both back doored a flush, me with the second nuts, him with the nuts, neither put the other on the flush the way the hand was played.

Re: 1/2 NL winrates?
90 hours is a pretty small sample size. When your running good it can make your opponent look really bad. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that they are horrible [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 1/2 NL winrates?
With a $200 buy-in and some mediocre action $15ph should be attainable assuming that the rake is reasonable ($4 cap) and you are toking reasonable amounts. If you tip $5-10 every hand you will probably lose in the long but don’t stiff our hard working dealers. The amount you should expect to make really depends on the stack sizes, your stack, and the action and the game. If people are making huge raises preflop with deep stacks, this will be a very big game even though the blinds are $1/2. I recommend reading professional no-limit holdem and no limit hold’em theory and practice if you want to grind away at $1/2.
Good luck and have fun, Paul

You don't tip $5-10 if you want to make money. You tip $1, maybe an extra buck or 2 here and there for something special. Anyone who's playing seriously and is tipping $5-10 is insane. The only players who do that are whales trying to impress someone or drunk tourists who are feeling generous because the tip looks small compared to the pot.

Come back to this forum and report your results when you hit 3,000 hours. Even then you haven't come close to determining your true winrate. as a mod sometimes I wonder if we should lock or move these 1/2 NL winrate threads, they tend to be filled with pipedreams and inaccuracies.
