Reasonable hourly rate?

Three hour sessions, takes me that long to get to my card room and back.

You guys are winning my money since I lose $6/hr playing 3/6. This is over 4 years of trying to beat the game. It was -$10 for the first two years so I am improving. LOL

I can not beat the $5 drop per hand won.

You should move up to 6/12. I'm dead serious; you'll probably break even.

to put things in perspective, rake at 10/20 at the borg is $5 per 1/2 hr, or 1 SB /hr.

Sorry - I'm an online player so B&M is a different story!

In the OLD days when tables were bad (I'm talking 45% flops) I was a 2BB/hour player. This is over a million hands.

Heck - Crypto used to have 3/6 50% games all the time and even last year I could play 5/10 60% flops for a hour at some Euro sites.

Once things got tighter and PARTICULARLY since they closed down Euro sites for Americans I find it hard to get over 1.5BB/hour.

So if you are talking bad players you could do 2BB/hour - HOWEVER(2) - it depends how many hands you are playing - can I assume you are talking LIVE games??

I don't really play 3/6 anymore unless I'm waiting for a bigger game, but here are my numbers since March of last year when I started playing at b&m's in L.A.--

102 sessions
297.7 hours
1793 net profit
1.00 bb/hour
141 in expenses (valet, non-dealer tips, food)

1 BB/ hour is very realistic, considering the high LA rake.

Those who claim you can sustain 15 to 18 an hour at 3/6 are out of their minds. That's over 2 BB/ hr.

In 3/6 at LA rake levels, 2BB an hour is considered the ceiling for the best pros.

Sure, you might run hot and exceed 2BB an hour at that game for a stretch of 100 hours or more. But sooner or later variance will rear its ugly head.

Over a lot of hours I'm beating 3/6 for less than .5 bets per hour and 20/40 for twice as much.
