Re: What\'s amount of profit is considered \"killing\" 1/2 NL?
I play $1/2NL
at Seneca Niagra and have no problem sustaining $30-$40/hr per session ove 2 yr period.Only problem is my sessions are only 5-8hrs ea. 2 hr drive each way sucks. There are a couple regulars that always have $600-$1400 on the table from playing all night and then some, about 16 hrs. They never give a straight answer when asked how long they have been playing that session.The max buy in is $100

I think I know one of the guys you are talking about he looks like Zagosh from Rounders. That guy is one of the few winning players at the game.

What the heck is the obsession with "I made 70 dollars per hour on my last session". WTF does that type of thing mean? I'm not really expecting that mindset on a board of supposedly knowledgable poker players.

Re: What\'s amount of profit is considered \"killing\" 1/2 NL?
I play $1-2 and $2-5 NL and over the last 1,000 hours my winrate is $55/hr. I am pretty sure that I can sustain this. I am not a pro and play in a home game once a week and long sessions at B&M's on weekends.

How in the world will you know if you are a winning player if you do not keep records...net win/loss per session and hours played at a minimum.

Re: What\'s amount of profit is considered \"killing\" 1/2 NL?
Potential long run win rate at NLHE is largely function of 4 things.
1) Skill level of the villains 2) Skill level of the hero 3) Size of the blinds 4) Amount of the typical/average buy-in I think this last one is frequently over-looked and has a disproportionaly large effect on lower limit (e.g. 1/2) games. A winrate closer to $30/hr at a 1/2 is far more feasible in a game where the average player is buying in for $300 than where the average player is buying in for $100. My data on 1/2 NL is limited as (as a tendency that has been mentioned) I only stayed at that limit for about 5 or 6 months. While I was in the 1/2 I had right at about a $20 win rate. I think that long term, $30/hr at 1/2 is really pushing the "limit". It would take a player skilled at efficiently pounding the donkeys AND the donkeys buying in for more than the average joe at 1/2.
