win rate for plo

sqwisssssss · #1 10-03-2007, 01:52 AM

i saw cmyr say something about 10bb/100. i know that would be a pretty sick average for nlh but is that pretty average for winning plo players?

you're kidding right?

sqwisssssss · #3 10-03-2007, 02:01 AM

unfortunately.....no.

i have no idea about win rates for plo. i havent the slightest idea if plo is more profitable than nlh.......on average.

i was a live player for years. online poker and stats and what not are fairly new to me. i tried to look up win rates on google but didnt find anything specific.

i have this strange feeling i'm going to get crucified.

There have been winrate discussions the past. The better players here will far exceed 10bb/100. at low levels even nut peddling can exceed 10bb/100

i would say any player exceding 5ptbb/100 hands over a large sample is doing very well

A large sample is? 250K hands? More/Less?

i would probably start the bidding at 100k hands - Pete posed a useful standard deviation chart for this kind of thing a couple of weeks ago, but i would imagine this would be a decent enough sample to gague

i don't think i've ever said anything about 10bb/100 as realistic for anything I play, except maybe single table hu. I would be very very happy if I were to learn that my expectation was 7-8bb/100, and I think realistically it's somewhere between 5-8. At low stakes 10bb/100 becomes realistic but still very impressive.

its important to differenciate between BB/100 and ptbb/100 - as i understand it PTO BB = Big bets not Big blinds, so 5ptbb = 10bb

no, you didnt. you used 10bb/100 as an example but i wasnt sure if you were suggesting it as reality either........thats why i asked about win rates in this thread.

my thinking was if plo is more profitable than nlh, then why play nlh? but now i see that the two have similar win rates so i'll dabble in both.

personally, i find plo more easy and less stressful than nlh.

thanks everyone for the info.
