How many of you earn more than 1BB per hour playing, like 20-40?


It seems you could triple this just by leveraging a minuscule gain in hand reading. Whereas the tiniest dropoff in hand reading - to where you are basically stuck with frequencies, game theory, and Bayes theorem, doesn't drop you much below 1BB per hour assuming you play perfectly.


But it seems like 1BB is a floor, which varies in proportion to the average concrete, tangible errors made by other players. It is fairly constant and useful in wage/expectation calculations and game selection...


Okay, forget the complex stuff, I just want to know don't some of you find you can float well above that 1BB rate for long stretches in good games by hand reading, the unteachable art?
