$1 a hand - Page 3

The point is 'MOST' regulars will not win at 5 ptbb/100 at 5/10+.

Few will, and they are the best players at that level. $1/hand at 5/10 is an excellent win rate.

Uh you do know that that is 5ptbb/100 right? These aren't the old party poker days. That is a vgood win rate now.

Yes, I am well aware of win rates, ptbb, the old days, etc. It's just that it's a pet peeve of mine that people spout that a mediocre win rate is the "ceiling" of win rates, so that everyone feels like they are hot shiits that are winning as much as you can at a certain level.

Who's doing this? I'm confused.

Making $1/hand live is easy.

I think a realistic level where a regular will generate $1/hand online is 40/80 limit and 10/20NL, which are roughly equivalent stakes.

Ive heard people say 30/60 or as low as 20/40, but it requires a fairly unrealistically high winrate for someone who multi tables and is willing to play in tougher games at that level. If you want to be really anal about game selection, you can probably do $1/hand as low as 5/10 limit and just wait for complete maniacs, but that's obviously not practical.

Is this live or online? Either way I would be willing to take a lot of action that this is impossible

If you've never sat at a table where 10BB/100 is possible, then you're doing something wrong.

There is a guy on AP who'se loserate is upwards of -50BB/100. In his presence, i am for sure averaging $1/hand at 5/10.

$1 a hand is easy for 50k hands, not for 250k hands. who here who thinks $1 a hand is easy has actually won $1 a hand for 250k hands??

I have. I play some 10/20 though but mostly 5/10. That being said, I did have an almost 100k breakeven streak before the last ~300k hands.

uhhh didn't everyone used to run around talking about how easy it was for a decent player to make 5 ptbb/100 and then someone posted a massive datamine of partypoker games and only one player was actually doing it over a reasonable sample size at 5/10?
