live game win rates and variance

theriverwild · #1 07-09-2007, 01:05 AM

I played a lot of online in the past and have started playing live since the games are much better mostly at commerce. How much can a good player expect to win in big bets per hour at say the 9/18 game at commerce, and how many hours of play does it take for that win rate to come though. Online the hands are much faster and I could play several table at once, but live I may play 80 hours and come up even. I'm guessing this is not a big deal, but I would just like to know what I should expect. It just seems like ther are more losing sessions maybe this is because there are less hands being played and one or two bad beats will really ruin a session when you are only playing for 5 hours or so.

There is no variance in live poker if you play good and your opponents suck.

this quality of thinking suggests that the answers for both of these questions as they relate to you may be less than 0.
