PL Win Rate

In the $200 PL on Stars for example ($1-$2) blinds, what is a good win rate? Is it based on % of $200, or based on blinds?

Cheers

A more philosophical question than you might think. Win rates in this forum are usually PTBB/100h with PTBB being 2x the big blind. Thinking logically, if you're 4 tabling and each PTBB is worth $4 at $200 max, and you play 50h/hr/table, that's $8/hr per PTBB. Most would need to run well over 2 PTBB to make it any kind of significant money-making venture. So assume over 2 for a good starting point. Many will argue that at $100 max and below you should run in double digits if you're very good, but at $200 max you start hitting some resistance (lots of higher limit players vulture down here when the going gets slow).

considering 4 tabling omaha 8/b is boring as sin usually.. most will play more tables.. call it 8 tables, and add rakeback and you're over $20/hr for 1ptbb/100. I don't think win rates approaching what a good NL holdem player can make are even possible though due to the split pot nature and hardly ever having a dominating hand.

Fixed limit, yeah, but the pot limit games on Pokerstars, at certain times (and usually Euros) generate some significant action. My system can't handle more than 4 games.

What time of day EST USA is the busiest for O8 on Stars. Is it 7-10ishpm EST or some different time since Omaha is popular in Europe?
