Hourly rates...

Mr_J · #1 02-10-2006, 01:58 AM

I know this is a bit silly, but I wouldn't mind hearing hourly rates from players with decent samples. I just like to know what is possible. I'm a bit more interested in the PLO8 hourly rates since that's what I'll probally end up playing, seeing as how I likely suck at limit. Also throw in limits and # of tables if you feel like it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

What a set-up for a Fatballz $500 an hour brag thread.

For some realism, I'm a 12bb/100 player on the $1bb ($100 buy-in) tables. I play 3-4 tables at a time, and make 5.6bb per hour. I believe that is essentially between $33-$44 an hour.

I find that virtually every site has enough action at this level to find quality games at this leve. I think at the $200 level you lose the quantity of selection a bit and the play is somewhat tougher, above this level, $400-$2000 you are pretty much limited to Party and Stars, and there are no guarantees that you can multi-table on good tables. Notwithstanding the great success of Wintermute/Fatballz, I think your options in PL08 are pretty limited above the $200 level because of the size of the player pool. Above the $200 level I think you need to be flat out a very very good player if you want to sustain any winning, and if you are that good, there are other games with much greater availability. Just my .02

I don't expect to get above 200PL, and expect that if I do get to 200PL, I'll probally have 100PL and 50PL games running as well.

Wondering if you mean PLO8 games or other poker games.

It sounds like you plan on playing mostly the same levels I do-- which is good because I think this affords you the best selection over a wide spectrum of sites, which also permits you bonus whore a bit (which for me is worth another $600+ a month, over various sites). Playing these levels-- with bonus and 3-4 tabling, I suppose it is possible to get up to $50 an hour, but I really think you should temper your expectations a little to more like $35-$40 because it isn't always possible to have 3-4 good tables going, and personally, I think much more than 5 hours of multi-tabling a day starts to degrade your performance, and makes you a player that is so well known in this size player pool that it becomes harder to generate the same win rate.

hmmm. can you post a graph of this [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

AnyAce · #10 02-10-2006, 02:23 PM

I agree with Mendacious. I generally play PLO8 $100 also and am running about 15bb/100 or about $14 per table hour. I usually 2-3 table (sometimes 4, if the games are good) so its $28-$42 hour or so, not counting bonuses (or rakeback, RIP).

I definitely think the fishiness drops as you move to $200 as well.

(I'll never be confused with Wintermute in terms of win rate, but its a nice side income... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img])

Good luck,
