How much per hour should you expect?

[winky51]

If you are playing right and not making mistakes what can you expect money per hour?

Right now I am playing 2/4 and I am getting $10/hr on average. But here is what i have discovered.

.5/1 $$/hr?
People play bad and loose.
1/2 $$/hr?
People play bad and loose.
2/4 $$/hr?
People play bad but tighter. I win pots but not too many people stay in them for the huge wins. I can bluff here and win.
3/6 $$/hr?
4/8 $$/hr?
5/10 $$/hr?

Thanks. All your advise has really helped me start making money at the tables.

The question is all relative. How good are you compared to your opponents? if you make 1.5 BBs/hr you're doing pretty well. More is probably possible, and definitely is multitabling, but you're still doing well.

The one thing I do is make some mistakes on guessing there hands. But usually I would say I win 2 BB (big bets?) an hour.

I kow which cards to play early, I know when to raise, trap, and bluff. But sometimes I don't take enough time to analyze what my opponent did in previous rounds to guess his hand. I have to think about it so its not natural yet. I miss a few and then kick myself when the hands are shown. I then have time to recall his plays and should have realized he had better hand and I should have folded. But I do know when to bet for value.
