Dollar action per hour for TH in a 20-40 game

My honest question is this: What is the $$ action on average for a TH game. Let’s say you see the flop about 33%, then you see the turn about half of that and finally see the river half of what’s left. So, if you play in a 20-40 game at 36 hands per hour where you see the flop with 33% of your hands you actually call the blinds in 12 hands for one small bet (12*20=240 action) so far. Now, half of that or 6 hands you call to see the turn for another bet (6*20 = 120) so you have so far $360 action. Now, the betting doubles and you see the river with 3 hands at approximately 3*40 = $120. So far you have $480 action. Now suppose you go for show-down with 1.5 or 2 hands for another big bet. So, 2*40 = $80.
We have here now a $560 action per hour if was no raises in the process. But lets say that we add some 30% extra money for raises. So we have to add another $187.5 for a total action of $747.5 per hour.

Is that correct?

If it is, and if you manage to make 1.5 to 2 big bets ($60 to $80), let’s call it $75 per hour as income, then you have on average about 10% return on investment? (75/747.5 = 10% ) Even if you make only one single big bet as income per hour you still have abut 5.3% ROI Is that correct?

im too tired to give long winded answer here but I know this much, If you see flop 33% of time and then furthermore see turn half of the time, you aint gonna come close to 1.5 to 2 BB/hr profit. In fact you aint gonna be makin no money at all I do believe. Course I could be full of it - it happened once. So if I'm too tired then why the hell am I awake here typing ?

Well, I just put 33% for calculations. It is probably around 25%-28% at the most.

I am interested in how to figure the $$ action per hour for TH.

Thanks!
