Default Potential Income at small stakes

If you played a fair amount of time. What is the income potential 3 tabling .25/.50 6 handed. I estimate you could make a good 1-2k a month. Am I wrong? Could you make more? Are these small stakes even beatable long term? It seems the small stakes have such bad suckouts because people stay in the hand so long. Any input is great. Thanks!

Small stakes are very beatable. 1-2k a month is certainly attainable at NL50 but it all depends on your winrate and the # of hands you are able to put in a month.

Assuming a somewhat standard 5ptBB/100, you would get like $5.00 per/100. Assuming about 150 hands/hr (50 hands per table per hour), you get about $7.50/hour 3-tabling. I dunno but you have to put in major hours to get $1K w/ just three tables.

On what site? Aren't the slow tables at stars still dealing 80 hands/hour? The fast are 100+ per hour. Three tabling you can get in much more than 150 hands per hour.

They are mostly 85-100 hands per hour from a quick glance at the lobby. Should be able to get at least 250 per hour 3 tabling at Stars so I would guess around $12.50/hour for 3 tables running at 5ptBB/100.

I know many people who have made a good living at SSNL, such as 50NL. However, I don't know if 3-tabling is enough to make the kind of money you want. The people I know who have made SSNL their sole source of income were all playing 8 plus tables.

No, it can't be done.

Your criteria is
1. Fair amount of time
2. Three table
3. 25NL or 50NL
4. $1K-$2K per month.

One of these can't be met. You could Three table at those stakes and make that amount, but it would require a large time investment.

You could make a few hundred playing a fair amount of time.

Can be done on 4 tables running at 4ptBB/100 at 50nl:

((4ptBBx2)/100) x 0.5BB x 85 hands/hr = $3.40/hr per table

4 tables x $3.40/hr = $13.60/hr

Don't know what a fair amount of time is, but at 40 hours a week this comes out to $544 per week or about $2176 per month. Can't be done 3 tabling unless you play 50 hours a week with the same winrate.

(Obvious solution is to 8 table for 20 hours a week, j/k [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])
